If you remember, Trey built me some external crossovers for my LSi9's, making them officially the speakess I will die with. anywhoo

the cable hardwired from the crossover to go to the speaker is about 6 ft long, thus the cable I need from the amp needs to be maybe 2 ft, 3 ft tops.

I figure DIY is the best way to go, but I'll entertain any ideas you guys have. Looking to you guys as a sounding board I suppose.

here is a pic for reference

    I would use either DH Labs Q-10 Signature speaker cable which can be purchases and terminated at any length, or MIT makes speaker cable "jumpers" of up to 6' long with ICONN terminations on each end.

    If you wanted to just buy a few foot of the canare 4s11 you might be able to pay less from me. I ended up with way too much. Even if I make a set of 10 ft or so cables to sell I will still have some 4s11 left.

    I'm wondering, why not purchase the same type speaker cable that was used for the speaker->crossover?
