4 conductor speaker wire

[ProgMtl 10+ year member]

Where do you all buy this? I've bought some from KnuKnoceptz before...12ga $1.40 per foot....very nice

Looking for something a bit cheaper if possible...but it has to be very flexible (many tight twists and turns needed)...ordered some in-wall 4 conductor from Parts Express that was supposed to be flexible and it's like trying to wire a coat hanger.

Any help would be great...guess I'm beinf a tightwad considering all the money that's in my system.

What do you need this for? Id look into cat5 cable, its cheap and flexibilty shouldnt be a problem either.

Cat 5 is really thin, though. I personally wouldn't use it for speakers. Not saying it won't work.

JL also makes speaker wire like this, but it will probly be more expensive than Knu. Home Audio wire may work. For example;

http://www.altex.com/product_info.php?products_id=1662 @ $0.59 / ft.

http://www.hometech.com/techwire/audio.html @ $0.74 / ft. (or $0.36 if you buy 500 feet)

http://www.smarthome.com/8424a.html @ $0.83 (this one is 12awg, others were 16)

I bought something that looked like the 2nd one from Parts Express...not flexible enough....just going to go with Knu (I remember buying some from Sound Domain before but I don't think they exist any longer)

Thanks, but no way I'm running 200 watts through that stuff to my CDT's

This might work for you. Best price you'll find hands down, and I run my entire home audio setup with monoprice cables only.

I've puchased all my home theater cables from Monoprice also...

How flexible is this stuff...all wall installation wires I've looked at aren't flexible enough to get through the tight little "s" curves in the door boots

You're going to be hard pressed to find 4 conductor wire that's really flexible. I know street wires makes some as well, you can look into that, but I can't find a link anywhere myself.
