Best DIY speaker cable for newbies


I have a 25' run and want to try DIY even though my soldering skills rate a 3 04 4 on a scale of 1 to 10.  I have some basic tools (crimper, vise, etc.) Canare 4S11 seems to be the benchmark but is there anything  else I should consider?  Looking to spend under $15 / lf (or under $1000 with connectors)  thanks.  

 

PS :has anyone tried a double run of 4s11?

Do you need 10-12 guage wire...furez is a good diy choice...it has some different thing’s on offer...Ofc cable with foam (fep) dialectic being probably the most notable and you can tell in sound stage presentation.Have done following last summer.All have pangea xtreme connectors.

I stuck with 12 gauge for my modwright 200 a side integrated.Atc 19v2 speaker.

Canare 4s11 and 4s12 from ghent audio....canare is a really descent cable.

Furez fz4/12as... in twisted pairing...another great wire.

Mogami 3104 and 3103...stuck with the 3104 for twisted pair...great wire.

My last and current wire is vh audio 4/12 quad ...It isnt really budget so much and is the most $ out of the bunch,the cable takes a loong time to run in...It is great sounding and quite satisfied with all (vh audio) wires as a unit.I am using zavfino jumpers which really did make a nice difference.The other 2 canare 4s11 and Furez were something that i could live with...until the what if’s start.
