RE: Jvb, that's the first calculator I used in setting up my MultiMag prototypes!

"MultiMag842T cable"...is that like patent pending?...jk:^). Sounds like quite the recipe, someday I will try it.

I haven't done any of the braided recipes for teflon cat 5, using it straight out of the box is just a simple and quick way to have 15-gauge wire with 24 gauge twisted strands, easy to try the bundles twisted together or "shotgunned" seperated. I do have some rolls of 16-24 gauge mag wire to try out later, after the mods and room treatments are done.

Now that I have my power amp in between the speakers, my cable runs are < 4' long, which should help also.

I have used magnet wire in the past, the only negative is removing the varnish can be a pita. The best way I found so far is to just burn it off with a blob of solder, but that only works with the small gauge stuff. If one had a nice solder pot, that would work better. Plus I was always worried about the cat tripping over the thin wire (had it on elevators).

I know when I was running single driver speakers with a 3 watt tube amp, single 24 gauge runs of cat 5 (which is the de facto recommendation of that crowd), or magnet wire did make a BIG difference in smoothing out the fostex drivers.
