Connecting an Extension Cab

jackajesusfreak · #1 10-14-2011, 10:45 AM

I have a GK MB210. I understand that the only way I can access the full 500 watts. I am considering purchasing the GK MBE210.
My question/concern is will the connecting cable come with the MBE210? If not where can I get one? What do you call them?

Speakon speaker output is what your amp will definately have. You will need around a 3' speakon to speakon cable. You can make one for around $12 in parts. Just two speakon ends, and some 2 conductor speaker cable. If not, just buy one in as short a length as you can get.

Here's a good example:

3' ft SPEAKON speaker cable assembled USA Neutrik NL2FC | eBay

I've bought several from eBay retailers over the years, average price around $17.

Thanks JX. Does gauge matter? I was doing som research prior to your post and I saw that they come in different gauges. I want to make sure I get the right gauge.

For a little 3ft. run, 16 guage is fine, no reason to spend more.

FWIW, smaller guage (AWG) number means thicker wire.
