I was planning on using the shotgun approach, i.e. two sets of cables (spades) stacked at the amp. One pair run to each cabinet. I'm going to start with the HD cable for the speaker runs. Am I correct in thinking that I can use standard 22 or 24 gauge cables for interconnects?
What if I skipped the HD cord route and tried using the silver clad teflon cables that I've been using for mic cables? Theoretically, I could combine multiple runs of the 2 conductor 24 awg cable to achieve a heavier gauge cable. Eight each of the 24 awg is a cummulative 15 gauge cable, IIRC. I think that would mean four conductors to both the (+) & (-) connectors for a total of 8 conductors. My question would be how running 4 separate cables all with twisted pairs, shielded, and housed in teflon would communicate with each other?
I've also got some 24 awg 4 conductor cable that I could use, so theoretically I could use 2 runs of this material to achieve the 15 awg gauge and then use one run for (+) and one for (-). Once again, not sure how running the (+) and (-) conductors in separate housings would communicate.
It looks like this guy used the HD cord method and ran one cord length for (+) and one for (-), so they aren't shielded together.
http://www.theanalogdept.com/hd14.htmThe speakers are coming without spikes, which I won't need because they are going on laminates. Anyone run them on hardwoods/laminates that can offer up advice on how to isolate them? I talked to Albert V.S. last week, and he mentioned that some users have had good experiences cutting the rubber super balls in half & setting the speakers on these. I image that would be stable enough considering the weight of these.
