Shotgun is a rather loose term that essentially means a double run of speaker cables for either a bi-wire or non-bi-wire connection -- since a shotgun run can be connected a few different ways, the term is not an exact description of a specific configuration, so I don't use the term.1. Internal bi-wire cable: A single speaker cable per channel that features multiple conductors, some conductors are implemented for the highs, while the others are implemented for the lows. A single internal bi-wire cable is terminated with a single pair of connectors at the amplifier end, while two separate pairs of connectors are terminated at the loudspeaker end for use with bi-wire binding posts.
2. External bi-wire cable: Two separate speaker cables are implemented for each channel, one cable is implemented for the highs, while the other cable is implemented for the lows. For an external bi-wire cable configuration, both cables are either terminated with a single shared pair of connectors at the amplifier end *or* separate connectors for each cable are stacked/tied together on a single pair of amplifier binding posts, while two separate pairs of connectors are used for each speaker cable at the loudspeaker end for use with bi-wire binding posts.
3. Double run: Two separate speaker cables are connected to a single pair of binding posts at both the amplifier end and the loudspeaker end, therefore its function is not that of a bi-wire cable. An external bi-wire cable can function as a double run for non-bi-wire loudspeakers, especially if both cables are symmetrical (same design, with identical materials and geometry).
