Thanks[/quote] As I said in my post there are many different variants of Speakon cables. The type you get in music shops are aimed at the PA market and typically use 1.00-sq.mm or 1.5-sq.mm cable, which is not enough. For bass you need 4-sq.mm, keeping the length to a minimum. I use a very flexible Klotz cable with 224 strands per conductor which gives a very low resistance. Most users go for 1-metre, or 1.5m for a large cabinet with connections at the bottom, however Clarky went for 0.5m. I recommend you have a read of my feedback threads for users opinions. If you want more info then pm me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Nobody's mentioned the fact that the plugs are solderless. That's a plus point. You just strip the end of your cable, insert it into the plug and tighten a grub screw with an allen key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
