Wire length

My amp is mounted on the left side of my trunk and I want to amp my rear speakers. Should I run the exact same length of 14 guage wire to each or run less wire to the speaker that's closer to the amp? Will there be any noticable differenceif the 2 lengths of wire are not the same length? There shouldn't be much difference because the resistance per foot is so small, but I just wantd to make sure! Thanks!

Dont even bother having the wires the same length if you dont want to....You nor anyone will ever be able to tell the difference if one channel has 5 feet extra wire...

Not with 14ga anyways. now if you were running 22ga or higher it may make a difference.

Thanks a lot guys! I figured it wouldn't make much of a difference.
