Mostly I just need longer cables. I bought the subs used and the cables had been cut by the previous owner. I figure I may as well diy and get a better product at a better price. It is a very simple cable after all. Mostly just wondering how much shielding may make a difference. It seems it’s essentially an interconnect cable which are typically shielded I think. There is a gentleman who sells nothing but mil-spec silver plated ptfe on eBay and he has some two and three wire shielded options. This route would cost me about $50 and I think make a solid cable. That’s kind of what I’m leaning towards but like I said pretty amateur when it comes to wire.
DIY Spekon Cable For Rel
I’m looking to make a pair of speakon cables for my Rel subs. I could really use some advice on what would be good choices for this type application. The cable hooks to the amp outputs but from what I understand is just carrying low level signals. I am not sure if a shielded cable would be ideal or just a twisted pair of high quality wire. I run them as a stereo pair so only need two wires and 8-10ft long. I’m not looking to spend a lot maybe $100-200 but less would be better. I have 50ft of 12awg silver plated PTFE ofc that I’ve debated using. Just seems excessive for the application I suppose. I believe the stock cable Rel provides is only 24awg. Anyways would love any thoughts or opinions on the matter. I really don’t have a lot of knowledge when it comes to cabling. Thanks!
