Any recommendations internal speaker wire?

[LowOhms]

I used the 12gA wire Jeff recommended inside my 19's for the woofers only.
For the horns I used some smaller gauge silver plated Teflon jacketed Tektronix CRT HV wire I scored a reel of when I worked there. It's small gauge so I "drill twisted" (Gee, I thought I invented that....) three strands per lead. Nice and flexible and easy to insert into the push connectors on the 902's.

For the outside the box speaker wires I used his 12gA again drill twisted two wires per lead. Bought some cheap but decent gold plated spades soldered with some nice 2% silver solder. Also from Tek when the electronic industry went lead free.....so the solder was free!

Ok, so I previously had old Monster type cable from Home Depot that had begun to turn green inside from corrosion, so for me this was a need for new wires, so WTF.

I like the results very much.

FWIW, I have me designed and built PP300B interstage transformer coupled non feedback amps and they sound excellent. They don't measure very well. They kick ass.

GOOD, glad to hear that report. Thanks SSS.

I use just ONE single 16 AWG m22759/11 16 for each polarity, in the tweeter section of the crossover, and for a 57 1/8th inch run to my 802D. I'm GUESSING, you do NOT want to use three strands twisted per polarity, to your tweeter, unless super small, too much wire, will lose highs, IF your amp plays highs, ( and P-P can, is wider-band than MOST SETs. )

It is VERY important for the polarities of the wires NOT TO TOUCH, as they run from amp to crossover. If they touch each other, in ONE instance, it is a sonic degrade. They capacitively couple to each other, it screws up the highs, which comes right DOWN ( resultants ) into the mids and upper bass, degrading that range. Also, it adversely effects dynamic contrasting....all highly audible to me, A-Bing it, this past week !!

I hope when you say " 12 AWG to the woofer ", its TWO runs for each polarity, not just one. Try eliminating the stock ALTEC push to fit connectors, and solder directly to the drivers ( safely !!! ) ....nicer under hard drive.

Please, if you can, send me a decent schematic with voltages of your 300B P-P amp, I can make just one or two very SIMPLE power supply only suggestions for you to TRY, not very expensive!!, and you will like them I bet !!
