DIY REL Speakon Cable?

geof3,

Check out Signal Cable.  High quality cable at reasonable price,
http://signalcable.com/relspeakon.html

In this particular case, there is very little current involved, as the high level cable is not a true “speaker” cable. The sub only draws a basic signal from the speaker outs. I’m thinking maybe a Belkin product or something. I’m not sure a typically expensive wire is necessary?

I ’chose’ to believe in the solution of small gauge solid (not stranded) conductors, individually insulated. That is a good description of CAT cable.

I just ordered cable, spades, adapters to make new speaker cables myself. (12 feet x 2= 24 lf)
Total cost $215. incl. tax and delivery ($9. lineal foot)

cable, 22 awg x 8 = 13 awg (I will twist red and black for each run).

btw, using CAT awg 26, more common, = 17 awg.

I asked for advice, researched, and posted many links in this thread

“Already cut down the original and now need it to be longer. Why waste a perfectly good speakon”
Makes sense 😊

Custom length. Already cut down the original and now need it to be longer. That’s about it. Why waste a perfectly good speakon?

“Looking for a few conductor ideas”.

I am curious to learn, what are hoping to achieve by building your own cable? I don’t think you will hear any audible improvements in this application so why not use the supplied REL stock cable.

I used three runs of 16g Duelund in a loosely braided configuration.
