Need the most flexible speaker cable

[Craig Gordon]

Hi guys. Im not looking for "magic speaker wire". What I do need is simply the most flexible 12 gauge speaker wire available. I need the flexibility for a project I am building (which I will post later and is quite spectacular and has never been done, but I dont want to mention it yet). I need the flexibility so that the wire will spool and unspool easily and smoothly.

Any suggestions?

Look for a higher strand count to start. Hard to know what you want. My monoprice 12g comes on a spool and spools and unspools easily enough, altho believe you could find a higher strand count (if the jacket also is as flexible I suppose)

This could be worth a look.

Thanks. This is the kind of thing Im looking for. Im going to purchase some as a sample.

Also, here is another thought. I need 50 feet total length. If I have the majority of the length of cable coming to my speakers (40 ft) as 12 gauge, but then simply add 10 feet of 14 gauge (solder, crimp, etc) then the last 10 feet will be very flexible but at least the majority at 12 gauge has less resistance than if I do it all at 14 gauge, right??

What is the reason for the high flexibility requirement? Yes, the 12g would help out for total resistance but you're picking nits/nicking pits.

Its a very unusual project that I dont want to show until it is finished. But Im excited to show it.

Ok, Its not finished, but here is why I needed extra flexible speaker cable. I just underwent some surgery and will not be able to finish the other two speakers for a few months. But Check this amazing setup out:

Choose a cable with many fine strands and a PVC jacket; even in the larger gauges it will be extremely flexible.

Are you thinking of replacing that black cable in the video? Are you trying to wind the speaker wire on a drum, going up and down?
Not sure how any of the cables will stand up to frequent spooling. May want to call Belden tech and ask about their 12/14 ga stranded wire and how well it stand the frequent spooling.
