| | | | Amp to cabinet cable, what are you using?
I need a new speaker cable for my amp, and I'm looking at this Gold series MOGAMI 3082 SPEAKER CABLE 3'. Need some suggestion's on a cable.

Costs less than $10 and few few minutes of my time. |

+1 I made all new 14ga cables with Home Depot SO wire and Parts Express connectors. Excellent.

I doubt the pair of them cost me $25 to build.

| Got you all beat. I have a PA speaker cable that I put together over 30 years ago! 
The outer jacket is dried out and cracked, but it still sees frequent use. All I've done to it is change the connectors from 1/4" to Speakon a few years ago. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho | | Your choices become a lot easier when you realize how small the wire gauge is inside your amp from the output rail to the speaker jack and the jack to the speaker is inside your cab. Not to mention the minutely small amount of loss and added resistance in the three feet run between the two. Not that knowing that ever stopped me from using jumper cables and Speakon connectors on my rig!  |
