Speaker cable

For a head to cab run.
Neutrik NL2FX connectors are $3 each
Cut the ends off a spare 16 gauge power cable and wire up the speakONs
Read the side of the power cable to see what gauge it is.

Search youtube for videos on how to wire speakONs and Ignore the spare wire in the power cable. Power cables are 3-wire you only need 2 for 2-pole speakon.

SpeakON are much much easier for a DIY to install than any 1/4" plug and much more reliable once they are put together. The screw terminals hold the wires like a crimp, and the plugs have built in strain reliefs.


Do people still buy NL2 plugs? All my stuff has been NL4 for years... I didn't know you could actually buy new NL2 plugs.
