DIY Bulk Speaker Cables
« on: 4 Sep 2009, 01:05 am »
Hey all,

Wanted to know what inexpensive bulk speaker wire you've used in a DIY build.  I'm going to building a pair of each.

I've been looking into:

Kimber Kable KWIK 16

Axiom Bulk Speaker Wire

Belden 5000UE

Has anyone had any experiences with these bulk cables?  And if so, what was your impressions?

If there's another bulk wire I should be looking considering, let me know :green:

You might as well throw the Yard Master used as speaker wire in there too.  For around 10 bucks it would be interesting as to how it compares.

I have been meaning to build a pair of these, but this time around I'd like to try bulk cable.

At $9 for 40 feet, you could almost consider it "bulk".
I've got five runs of it in a home theater rig. Great stuff.
