So someone broke into my trailer a while ago and took most of my copper and my safety cables. 1200 feet of extension cords and all of my NL8 and NL4 that was stored in there.... At least most of my NL4 was out on a gig. They were kind enough to leave my Cat5 and all of the 2 conductor speaker cables (which I never use any more).
Anyway... I have a vendor for the extension cords and 8 conductor speaker wire, but there doesn't seem to be a reasonable price on smaller quantities of 12/4.
So... any leads on 13/4 or 12/4? Anyone close to Salisbury NC interested in splitting a 500' spool?

Don't let the price fool you.... It's good stuff.

I always use Rapco Horizon speaker cable....lays flat.
Contact them directly and find a dealer nearby.....see if they will make you a deal on splitting a spool or even just getting it by the foot. The store I buy from makes me good deals like that. Usually about 70 cents a foot for 12/2.

Re: Looking for a wire vendor...
I can get 12/4 in 500ft spools for $350. .70/ft is an excellent price, but they only sell it in spools. The next closest price I've found is .88/ft after shipping at 250', but that's enough of a difference that buying the larger spool is almost worth it. Rapco is still more than that at dealer cost.
It kills me to pay a 20% premium or more to buy by the foot.
