Drifter1151 27 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Just wondering what people are using. I live on a small budget so I have been using 18 gauge 4 conductor twisted pair sprinkler wire of all things Read about it on Crutchfield.com some time ago and it works great if your on a budget at about 27 cents a foot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man 3,853 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 That's plenty good for a 6250 into 6 feet of cable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrummerJuice 1,275 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm using monoprice 12ga speaker wire, with nylon covers, wirepants, shrink tube and bananas. Fun project. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter1151 27 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'll have to stay with the 30 cent a foot option for now LoL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrummerJuice 1,275 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I bought a 50' spool, but I was bi-amping my main system and I had a bedroom system (now in the boardroom of my office). Four 8' runs and two 6' runs add up quicly. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie 16,354 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I use 10GA stranded that I found at the local electronics liquidator; 4 x 100ft rolls for about $12 a roll... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRHP 854 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 There is a guy on ebay that sells some Mil-Spec silver plated copper wire that I have used a bit of. Pretty good prices, some less than $1 a foot some more than. I bought it to wire up my open baffles. Douglas Connection cables still sound best to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJActual 75 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I just picked up some of these. https://www.schmittcustomaudiocables.com/product-page/reference-100-2x10-gauge-linear-speaker-ca Not cheap but not as stupidly expensive as some others. I'd guess these are slightly beyond the marginal improvement for the price I can hear... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
