Preparing Litz Seaker Wire AKA Cobra SHF SP Cord

I have over 50' of Litz "Cobra" cable and not sure how to prepare it for speaker hookup. It is a intwinde cable copper and green strands and the green appears to be coated copper wire or else it would short out if it wasn't coated? Putting a meter on the copper end to the other copper end good reading. Meter from the green end to the other end and poor reading. I assume I have to get the green coating off? Any suggestions or am I missing something simple? Thank you

So then you would use two seperate runs per speaker in biwire configuration lows green highs copper putting the two together at the amp end? Can it be used for single fullrange drivers(Fostex)? Still two seperate runs or Positive green one Negative the copper? Thank you

John, this wire wasn't meant to be split into bass and mid/hi runs. It wouldn't have enough meat, plus the two sizes are meant to work together regardless of the band of frequences it's replroducing -- the object being timing accuracy across that band whatever you choose.

I'm sorry so do I use two runs per speaker one for negative and one positive putting the green and copper together at each end of each run? Thank you
