Go back to Home Depot and get THHN. These are relatively thick and they don't bend well, but there is nothing better at that price point. You will need 4 cables...all the same length. Put spades if you can find them on the ends..or rings if you can use them on your amp/speakers connection. If not, you have to use a saw, or tin snips to cut these to make spades..The spades should be the ones that have a screw to secure them. Don't solder them..it will decrease the performance. You have to spend WAY more money to get anything better than these...especially at those lengths. I can surely guarantee you will be happy with these until you can spend mega bucks for the high priced spread.
Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist...
Hi..
I have already broken the bank on my system, Plinius 8200 int. amp, Marantz CD 6000OSE, Vandersteen 1c.. I guess I may use zip wire from Home Depot.. The problem...(the twist) is that I need to run one length 35 feet or so.. The other length will be maybe 20 feet.. No other way around it.. Plus I I cant really spend much more that $125 $150 max... What is my best option..? Zip wire? Or can I somehow "make my own" cable.. I am willing to buy all the parts and solder it up.. DREW
