Hi Friends,
I was curious and thinking to use a cat 5 cable as a speaker cable.
What I have read is people remove the outer main covering and separate each wires. Then the braid/twist them in pairs or 3 or 4 or 5. My question is if we can do like this:
Cat 5 contains total 8 wires. The wires can be solid core or stranded. I was interested in the solid core version.
Two wires are twisted with each other already and hence we can say it contains four pairs of twister wires. Now instead of removing the outer main covering, cannot i directly connect it to amp and speaker? Out of 8 wires, i can use four for positive and four for negative. In that way I don't have to remove the outer covering and no need to braid/twise separately.
Regards,
Amit.
