The speakers in use need 3.3 metres each side from the amp to each speaker

However, the cable I have been using is 8m and 15m respectively.  I measured the resistance of both (0.9 ohm and 1.2 ohm) with one end shorted so it does not affect the nominal 8 ohm speaker impedance

Should it be 1) coiled up in a circle, 2) coiled in a figure 8, 3) allowed to lie loose?

At the moment it is coiled in figure 8
