Todays DIY, speaker cables.

The wires look awesome! This has inspired me to do my own but I'm a little lost as to what size to buy over at WireCare. How'd you determine which size sleeve to get?

Nevermind - just realized that the jackets will flex.

Nice workmanship, Don!

I did my own cables the lazy way... I bought 8awg zip cord at $.45/ft from RF Parts and just stripped and tinned and put lug connectors on the ends. Sure beats the 14awg wire that I used to use!

Did a little DIY today in the form of making up some speaker cables that allowed to to hook up my MA RS6's using my Onkyo's Bi-amp my front speakers. All in all it would call it a worth while project. I believe I am getting much more separation and dept with this get up. The highs, mids, and lows are very distinctive and sounded great while watching Iron Man.

You impressed me with that DIY project
Just one question, how well did that nice dining room table survive the project?

Very pretty

How about some pink ones for me. Being pink they will incorporate all the positive aspects of femininity. Still think they're pretty and am thinking of doing a bargain version of yours. I don't believe anything but resistance and inductance affect the sound of cable and the plain 12ga, that costs $10 for 30 feet from Parts Express would sound no difference than yours with blind testing. Of course NO ONE who is promoting/marketing cables does blind testing of cables.

^^^ Well said!

Don't be sore

Don't be sore. I was going to use just plain black but I liked the way the green looks.
