Wierd issue with a DIY cable for a REL G2 sub
I've conformed it is a DNA 500. Also read in the manual for the REL that with a differential amp (like the DNA 500) the 3rd conductor is supposed to connect to chassis ground. My uncle also confirmed that the side of the amp the ground connecter i... 
Wierd issue with a DIY cable for a REL G2 sub
Al is right, the 14ga is way overkill and the 4th conductor in the Belden cable is simply not needed. Nor is the 4th pole on the SpeakOn. However it is tough to fine decent 3 conductor cable (or 4 for that matter) by the foot. And seeing as I didn...

Please help a noob
Picking speakers first makes sense. I suggest the same thing to my customers and honestly feel like a bit of a dumbass for not thinking of this the same way. Oh well. Now off to find some places to listen to speakers... 
Please help a noob
Thanks for all the input guys. I'm eyeing the HRT istreamer or music streamer for the dac. I really like the price point on those too. Speakers are totally undecided. The only things I've had the chance to listen to in person are a set of Dynaudio...
