Hi all, sorry if this isn't the right place, but I didn't see a section for DIY speaker cables.
I have been looking at some diy designs, cat5, silver wire, etc... but the simplest one looks to be just doubling up speaker wire. I plan on taking four strands of monoprice 12 awg speaker wire, and twisting the ends together (two reds together and two blacks together). My question is... do I need to braid these four cables together ie. like a cat5 design? Or do I just twists the ends together, and put banana plugs on the ends? I plan on covering the whole thing with a jacked & shrink tubing from parts express so it looks like one cable and not four individual cables...
Thanks
Travis
