No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need


It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

I am assuming, based on your posts, that if I got the amp back closer/between the speakers and could reduce the length by half, that I could then use a slightly smaller gauge, perhaps a 3AWG x 2 would then suffice?.......Or did I forget something?...........I agree that attempting to solder cable that heavy without a professional level machine would be a bad idea, so crimping seems to be the way to go.........However, I still don't see how I connect them to my amp's binding posts. I could use some sort of stand-off on the speaker terminal blocks, but the binding posts on the amp are unlikely to accept that large a spade lug..............I'll have to pull my amp and make some measurements to be certain.

If I do this, I will of course pass on the results for the benefit of anyone else who may be interested.

Regarding your say: "I am sure you have noticed the difference in attitude that other posters have towards your original post and ideas after you have started explaining your thoughts and giving practical examples",

I can't explain any of that attitude as long as we are dealing with a pure technical thread. You can rather accept, decline or ask about it. What would the attitude do with it?
I thought that we are all here because we like this hobby and would be happy to do whatever it takes to get a better sound out of it.
This attitude mostly comes when some interest is involved. I don't care. Most are getting a bit excited when cables issues are brought up.
I know well why the attitude changed all the sudden. I never expected it to go well from the beginning. I needed to earn your trust as you don't know me.

Showing off with my resume would help ether.

I also had to keep my ground put, against all the "attitude stuff" to pass that storm.
I came with a will to assist and I never changed that attitude. Some just crossed the line, so I most likely won't keep answering them.


It will become really interesting when those who tried it out, will start sharing their experience.


Yes,  the terminating the 0-3x0AWG conductors will be the challenge in these DIY efforts.
