I'm building a couple 6V SLA's for my V3. Looking for advice as to what to use for wire.
Stopped by the local RatShack this past weekend and the only 2 conductor wire they carry is speaker wire. Will speaker wire work?
Tried mouser as well, but the wire and cable category has 6000+ entries and I really don't know what I'm looking for anyways.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Speaker wire will work.....I also have used lamp cord. If you have a simple old extension cord laying around you can always hack the ends off and just use the cable (same for an old lamp) I usually find something I'm not using around the house to come up with parts for most everything! :)
I like a sleeved two-conductor. It gives a little extra protection.
I don't know where in NJ you are.....
Denville has Lashen, Raritan has a good parts store, and so does Patterson.
Home Depot or Lowe's can stock good low-voltage cable as well.
Don't forget to get some plastic water main to make a hulahoop, while you're at Home Depot ;D

i have some sleeved wires that i've used for several SLA wiring projects. got about 100' at home. lmk if you want few feet of it.

go to any hardware store and get lampcord.
i used some heavier stiffer wire from rat shack just because i feel like stiffer wire is easier to solder in place in those tiny holes in xlr plugs
