hmmm, I bet a well trainer ear COULD hear the wire

I dunno, I have sound engineers that I work with on a daily basis that always use the lowest price wire that still meets the minimum specs for their jobs...they swear up and down that you cannot hear a difference in wire. As do guys like David Navone, Richard Clark, Nigel Lowe, Tom Gazda, Dave Rivera, Alma Gates, Mark Eldridge, Derek Lee....you know, a bunch of nobodies in the world of car audio.

The wires come into play when it's being mic'ed the ear won't hear the little bit of noise but the mic will

chuck didn't go to car audio school or anything, and hasnt been working in car audio for 10 years or anything, so please educate him more on this subject.

Jerome has competed in IASCA, he knows his crap there too. But, IASCA, USAC and MECA have all eliminated RTA testing and noone tests with an oscilloscope so again, you cannot hear wire. Period.

I was in a band named WIRE. You could definitely hear us if you drove by during practice.

damn you dave and your exceptions to the rules.....

[Guest]

I was not happy with the bass output of that design....new plan....

[MisterCMK]

tjamz is correct, you cannot hear wire. As long as it is sized correctly for the job, there is no difference between 12ga monster speaker wire and 12ga romex for speaker wire.

Other than you don't wanna use solid core wire in a high vibration environment.(ie cars)

[Guest]

yeah....figured that was a given though Fitzy..

PRICE

And very soon the price of all wire will be going up as the price of copper is getting up there. We have been warned from our vendors that even the price of the metra harnesses will be going up.
