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

Mr. glupson

For the Q: "How thin is that last connecting piece on the 0 AWG wire allowed to be" I'd answered that already before! It should be as thick as possible, or as thick as the banana plug can get.

From your question, and the way of wording, I assume that you are into getting a fuse between your amp and speakers. If you think of an 8-10 gauge wire as a fuse, you are wrong! The 0 AWG is the fuse in that system…When that will happened, it will light your room like a Christmas tree. That’s not only calculated and listened to, but also a visual spectacle. I feel like you got into something big!

Please be kind to share your "listened to and not calculated" experience with that event.

For your educated statement "I doubt many would claim that thicker wire is detrimental to the sound". My answerer is: Not so many, but all who did try it reported undoubt that "listened to the calculated speaker cable" had a significant improvement! Those observations were both for the reporter and his spouse that confirmed his impression of grate sound improvement. It's on this the thread, you can find it and read it.

Good luck with your creative idea. Please be kindly reminded to be safe when working on that project and very cautious when you connect it.

Pictures would be nice to have too. Thanks

I sent a question to the amp. maker about the DF. I’m waiting for its answer.

Connecting amplifiers in mono bridge mode is not such a good idea. Even thou your https://www.audioartistry.com/products_dvorak_specs.htm do not specify a spec for impedance as a speaker, only per unit. The bottom value is 3.2 ohm min. at 2.1 kHz.

When a load is driven by a bridge configuration, you gain a 4x power but the load on the amp. is 2x harder. The 3.2 ohm becomes 1.6 ohm!

If you use multiple amplification and mono, with XLR inputs, why 8’ long? Can’t you place the amp’s next to the speakers and get them way shorter? That might save you big time.

From the klass (class) and the AUDI, I assume you are from Germany. Am I right?

The 1000m resistance is given as the 1m is of a very low value. From that figure, it can be calculated by dividing it by 1000 and multiplied by the actual length (number of meters) and also by 2. Any speaker cable of a given length (2.5m) has a wire that goes to the speaker (red) and one coming back (black) so it is 5m all together.

No aircraft carrier. Also no one should place his amplifier 1000m from its speaker. That’s common sense. It seems to me that you could use some more of it!
