Altec 19 hookup wire

FWIW many speakers can benefit from some series resistance. I prefer using larger wire, though it isn't necessary to go crazy, most people are into "overkill".

I then add series resistance in different amounts, it would take a lot of different wire sizes to try that with wire.

Bottom line is what works for you is right.

Silly big blue things. They were a gift. I don't use them.

So the question is, what was the original wire gauge in the 19s? Or if there is an agreed upon better gauge than original, what is it and will it fit through the original spring posts?

I think this cabel is better than lampcord

Ya but the delivery charge is a bit much. And you'd have to recalculate your box size and tuning with that stuff in there.

These products are handy when there are no sources of energy available in space that you want the desired lighting. This does not mean that you have enough with a dark corner or surface.

Hey, a good friend of mine has a Cat D7H LGP with a vibratory/impact cable spade mounted on it. He can properly install that cable for ya, up to 8 feet deep, even in medium/soft rock.
