I will assemble my cables sans solder and seal with the marine grade shrink tube. Thanks for all the input.
Building Speaker Cables
I have decided to build my own cables. For the cable I’ve chosen DH Labs T-14 cable for the cable connectors on the speaker side will be Furutech FP-201 (G) spade connectors, amp side will be Furutech FP-200b (G) banana plug connectors. Would it be overkill to silver solder all the terminals before sealing the connections with marine grade shrink tubing?

If you seriously want to BUILD cables check out the following poster under Cable forum. Williwonka DIY Helix Geometery Cabling. Post has continued for years. ALOT of great info and alot of posts from DIYers using these methods. If you stick with your original plan, the Worlds Best speaker terminals are "None". Less is more. You need external XOs or easy access to XO circuits. Soldier speaker wire directly to XO circuit. Eliminate all that treminal stuff. Obviously not a good option if your a cable junkie and swap out cables periodically. I chose this method when I rebuildt and made my XOs external. Saved big $ on the "very good" treminals I consdiered using. |
In Conjunction with direct to Xover Termination, bypassing Ferrous Metal Tabs on the Drive unit and connecting to the Wire that is usually braided attached to the Coil is made known in different camp's to be the most beneficial. I have seen the Bypass done on multi thousand $ Drivers. In all things Audio Electronics and Signal Path, reducing obstruction to the Signal can in some systems be breath taking, where as in others be noticed for a difference having. Ben created.

@cgbgreg what is the cable length you are going to make? |
@westcoastaudiophile 6 foot for each tower and 4 foot for the center. |
