again, I believe it to be 2 Ohm (since meter registers .8 in a known 0 Ohm circumstance) also again I wouldn't be suprised if it is a 30 awg cable, it is very very flimsy, and I KNOW it is not below 20 awg just by looking at it.

bill, I don't know if its my meter, but I would trust the cable to be that flimsy. on another note, when shopping for cable I am looking for 12 awg 2C cable. I assume that means that both of the conductors are 12 awg, is it possible that companies somehow calculated the gauge on the cable based on t...

um i curently have a 25 foot cable, and it registers at 2.8 Ohm, one way :( what the hell? You have a bad solder joint, corroded contact, or have not zero'ed your meter and leads. I doubt that 24 gauge wire would show 2.8 ohms over 25 feet, let alone much larger stock. your right it wasnt zeroed it...

well, it may not be an efficent use of what i have right now but it'll have to get me through some gigs before I can afford good quality 10 or 12 awg wire

I want to get 10 awg, so that if I have to I can link several cables together.

thanks

um i curently have a 25 foot cable, and it registers at 2.8 Ohm, one way :( what the hell? btw: this was a very bad investment, as it turns out it is a 4 conductor wire, of which two conductors are wired to the banna plug, when you open it up, the cable looks pretty flymsy :( is this possible? if it...

they don't seem to have what I need, or maybe I just can't navigate the side well enough

Source for cables, DIY style

Yes, I plan to manufacture speaker cable, I want long runs, that means at least 100 Feet for the mains, they take about 1KW and run on 4Ohm, I figure 10 AWG is appropriate here? I will make the cables in 25 Foot versions, and 50 foot extension versions, they will be speakon (4 pole) to speakon (4 po...
