Speaker Wire Question need help!

[Andrew Jones]

Hi


So I wanted to get the crazy speaker wire for my new over powered amp

I need 1/4 in to banana plug set up, I bought a Pro Co Fat max "8 guage"1/4 inch to 1/4inch speaker cable and a bannana Jack.

Cut off the end of the wire and...... It has Four wires! I asssume that these are connected 2+,2 Ground.

now because these are four wires is that not the same as two Fatter wires?

Sorry, I can't help you out with that 4 wire thing...

But 8 gauge?! WHOA! Now that's huge!

I gotta get up on that!

No wait, I already use these:

Invalid Link Removed

But I think these are only petty 10 gauge or something like that. Bah.

(I swear I bought these for their sheer kick-@ss thickness. Not for their "better" sound...no please, don't hurt me!!!!!!!!)

*btw, anyone else use these? *

I think I got the info for those Fat Max wires. These look pretty cool!

From the diagram and description ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]), yeah, it seems like its really just 2 really fat wires made up of 4 wires. Since I'm definitely no electrician, it seems like it's double grounded? Still looks cool though...

These are MIT speaker cables with some "crossover network" thingy in the middle. I dunno. I just bought them from some dude for crazy CHEAP. And they work. So I'm gonna go ahead and hear the better difference than my monster cables Check it out: Invalid Link Removed . It's so overkill...I love it! But only cuz they were cheap. Otherwise,

(If these MIT's are on par with the Tara Labs type stuff, TB is gonna curse me I think... )

They're probably four 11-gauge wires. That would be the equivalent of two 8-gauge.

Be sure to double up the appropriate wires when you attach the banana plug.
