In Reply to: Had a speaker cable comparo this morning ... posted by Dave Pogue on April 19, 2004 at 16:31:15:
and I bought a 25 footer. Just so I'm clear, I'm just snipping off the plugs, cutting the cable in half so I have one run to left and right and that's it? I leave the wire in the orange and black sheathing?
Follow Ups:
Just strip the orange and black covering back a couple of inches, snip off the green wire, and use the other two as the + and - (your choice). I crimp on Radio Shack nickel plated spades and dress it up with heatshrink. I've made three sets like this, and they sound sensational. I wouldn't bother with doubling up as in the post below, but that's me. These things keep sounding better all the time.
: )
Yeah, I think I'm just going to do it this way except that I think I'm not going to opt for the spades. I'll just go w/ the bare wire.

You'll find three wires within the wrap; I twisted all 3 to make one cable; total of four cables altogether. YMMV

Okay, so there ends up being three wires for positive and three for negative? So two runs of the orange/black cord to each speaker?
two wires(cables) per speaker. Sorry if I was misleading!
