It is nice, but…Not yet!
1. This is not a formula to provide the gauge out of length and DF.
2. You need to feed the wire gauge till you tune out a close DF to
the amp's DF.
How close is close
enough?
3. This calculator will accept wire gauge only up to 0 AWG. Some
longer cables or higher DF are out of range!
What is the formula when
a 0 AWG at some DF or length doesn't get the results?
4. The speaker's impedance, should not impact the amp's DF. So why
going from 8 Ohms to 4 Ohms changes the calculated DF figure?
Even if this would be the
solution (and it is not), how many cable makers use (or used) such a
calculator, to figure out what is the required cable to your setup? NONE!
Let's look back and see what
we had here:
1. People claimed that the speaker cable should be chosen by
listening and not by calculation. If it comes through Google or the web, than
it is O.k. If I say it…No!
Do you know how much
clutter is on the web? Not all on the web is a holy bible. Even the bible was
written by man.
2. All the sudden, DF is a factor to choose a speaker cable! Till
my thread no one connected between the two?
3. All the sudden a thick cable (4 to 000 AWG or more) seems to be O.k.
Till my thread you were
thinking it is good only for jump start cables!
4. None of you went into the understanding how and why this
additional resistance of a cable is effecting your sound. Or giving it a solid ratio
between a bad cable and a good cable. Till now the difference was told by a
sales man who pushed you the cable he would benefit from most, not the one your
system really needs.
5. Going back to my say, that most of you are having the wrong
cable connected in your system!
6. How many cable manufacturers you know, that offer cables of 4
AWG and thicker? What kind of money do they charge for it?
7. For the naggers, you changed your skin in a second, as a
salamander camouflage, even thou nothing really changed in my claim. Is that
shows what kind of people you are?
