Custom DIY Speaker Cables
« on: Tuesday, June 07, 2011, 21:18:17 PM »
I got a desire to make them so I researched and ordered the parts recently. I picked them up today and got to work. After about an hour and a half of labor, I finished one:





That's 12AWG OFC with techflex and gold-plated banana plugs. I'm impressed. Here's the parts list which cost about $35 with discounted shipping:

It's like shaving your pubes to make your junk look bigger.

There's also good wire from here (50ft for $15.33): http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10239&cs_id=1023901&p_id=2816&seq=1&format=2

Those banana plugs you bought look amazing though :D

I was gonna go monoprice but I didn't want 50 feet. The sleeving/jacket on this wire is thick as can be and it's as flexible as a wet noodle. I really like this cable.
