[QUOTE="Tim Weaver, post: 27369, member: 317"] Re: Anybody use trailer cable for speakers? In this instance, I've found the trailer cable for significantly cheaper than a dollar a foot. Otherwise I wouldn't be considering it. I typically build all of my cables, although places like Audiopile.net are making it hard to justify the time expenditure because their cable assemblies are so cheap, and of high quality as well. Why are you using 12/2 in the rack and a smaller gauge for the speaker lines? I use 16/2 install cable in my racks and inside the cabinets. For a super short run like that there is no problem using a smaller gauge wire. The 16/2 plenum cable is small and easy to manage with cable ties and such. [/QUOTE]
