Made A pair of bi-wire cable to install in Jetta for tweeter and midrange. This time used 6 mm cotton rope to have thinner cable.



Used a hand glove to save palm while squeezing


Used a Single solid core cable for speaker side hookup and amp side left it all as it is.


The final finish with soldered ends and with transparent heat shrink.

Got a chance to buy 12 TC 10 meter cable. Decided to try them with 12mm rope in it.


Cut a 1.5 meter for making interconnect and other Hook up wires. Bifurcated the remaining wire in to 2, which is 4.25 meter each and put 12mm cotton rope in to it.


Crimped the cables on the end and solder the tips with Mundorf silver solder as usual.

Yep; all we need is witty hands and little time, it may appear pleasing any one.




Just realised running short of sleeves. Planing to buy some.

Kindly suggest some good 15mm cable sleeve.

Will keep posted.
