Thoughts on internal speaker hookup wire

Posted by MJR (A) on January 26, 2007 at 00:56:40

Does anyone have any opinions on what type of wire to use inside of speakers to hook up drivers to the crossover and the crossover network to the binding posts?

Type (OFC, HCOFC, SILVER, etc.) size (12AWG, 16AWG, 24AWG, 28AWG), dielectrics (PVC, teflon, cotton, PEF, none {air}), and construction (braided, unbraided, flat, etc...)

What's the point in using extremely high quality speaker cables if my internal speaker wire is plain old 16 awg ofc?

I'm currently using a DIY braided CAT5 cable made of 4 twisted pairs of 24 AWG conductors with PVC dielectric (not teflon) and has very low resistance and a high damping factor.
