Speaker Cable for Larger Sub
« on: 24 Sep 2003, 08:54 pm »
Does someone have recommendations for speaker cables for the Larger Sub?  Do most of you use a jumper to connect the two woofers or a bi wire cable.  I am using one Carver ZR 1600 in mono mode to power the one sub.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

If you are into DIY, a single run of the Stan Warren quad cable will work great. Using the quad 12 AWG recipe, you end up with a cable that is about 10 AWG which is plenty big. I have about a 20 foot run of this for my New Original and it works fantastic.

If you are doing bridged mono then there is really not a lot of reason to bi-wire. If you are not bridging the amp (i.e, just doing a mono input via a Y cable with dual outputs), than dual runs of a smaller AWG (12-14 AWG) should also work OK.
