No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need


It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

OP
You mentioned earlier that Ribbons are an exception. What would you recommend for a Mark Levinson ML3  with a 12 ft run to a ribbon array?
Thank you

You're right. I don't think that would make a difference though.

OP
I was and am serious. I have easy access to wire and really wanted your advice. I am in the car audio business and I have a good crimp tool and I can terminate. I plan to try your advice. Do you still think I need 0 guage minimum to see the effects?
Thank you

OP
The ml3 has select able DF 100,200, and 300 at 50Hz. The ribbons are from the Infinity IRS. Actually I am tri amplified, another ML3 and a ML9 on the top. I can run active or passive on the crossover and  do switch back and forth if any of that matters. Does that change anything? When I am active crossover there are no coils. How does that affect your recommendation?
Thank you
By the way, in the car audio world for speaker wire thicker is always better just harder to hide.
