Speaker Cable

Thanks Ken, not 100% on the lengths but one will be about 6 mtrs and the other 10 mtrs at a guess. I also have plenty of heatshrink - never terminated cables before despite working for a connector/cable distributor for 25 years lol, are speakon cables easy to terminate?

Unfortunately, you have quoted a US supplier and i'm in UK - would this cable do the job?

I build my own speaker cables using cat 8 ethernet cable and adding spade or banana connectors.

I use 24awg

8 strands 24 awg is equal to 15 awg. 8 x 26awg equal to 17awg.

I would make both lengths the same (longer) length for flexibility in the future,

you need some slack to get down, across, out/up to spkr, not sure if you included that in your 10 meter estimate?.

using 12 meter x 4 (2+, 2-) = 4 runs 43lf. I would buy 4 cables 50lf, and cut length to what I wanted.

cat 8: various lengths, various colors

cut off the ethernet connectors, strip 8 strands, twist or crimp together, add connectors

stripper/crimper

I used different color cables for + and -, but the connectors are color coded so the same color cable can be used.

banana plugs, wbt type, 2 set screws

banana plugs, alternate type

spades, 2 set screws

there are advantages to removable connectors.
