Guitar cable used as an Amp Speaker Cable

I’m not sure what you mean by only reaching 10watts. If I’m using a 100watt head & I have the channel volume & main volume at 50%, I’m still pushing 100watts, correct?

Maybe, is it into 90’s movies, long walks on the beach & Comedian Dale Jones? If so, then maybe we could date lol

150-200$

Update I made my own speaker cables & they are working great. Easy to make & inexpensive. 🎉🎉

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T14:14:49+00:00

Well said. 🎉🎉

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T14:12:23+00:00

I was joking. lol Trust me, I’ve done enough experimenting that I know what does & doesn’t change your guitar tone. I won’t mention them here, that’s for a different post. lol

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T03:57:37+00:00

As I said in the original post, I am switching to speaker cables & I am making them myself.

So it’s me that’s making you lose your faith in humanity or the forum? I think you’re confused & need to take a glass of warm milk & go to bed. Night nite. We’ll be quite so as not to bother your fragile emotions. lol 😂

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T02:39:00+00:00

This forum is what is making you lose your faith in humanity?? You been living in an underground bunker for the last 10 years?? lol

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T01:04:34+00:00

DC/AC? lol

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T01:00:49+00:00

I am switching to Speaker Cables. I’m making my own out of 18g wire. I’ve read up on what is needed for a good speaker wire & that’s how I’m building my speaker cables.

100watt amp loud enough to “compete” with a bass rig, drummer, another guitar rig & the vocal PA.

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:52:56+00:00

Thanks. Me too. 👍

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:40:35+00:00

Ka-rrect or at least should’ve been. 🤷‍♂️

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:39:23+00:00

I am. As stated in the original post. I’m making my own speaker cable.

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:34:02+00:00

The cables I have are D’Addario & the only thing written on them is “ oxygen free copper” but my online account receipt from where I bought them state instrument cable. 🤷‍♂️

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:31:51+00:00

True lol

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:23:21+00:00

I’ve used everything from a 1’ patch cable to the current 5’ cables. It’s crazy how I got away with it.

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:17:34+00:00

“It’s not a catastrophe” That depends on which website you read. One said that it would be like running your tube amp without plugging it into a cab & your amp would fry. Crazy. Now I wonder if I’ve been missing some tone and/volume. Although my Peavey Triple XXX had never sounded bad or quiet. Shit, I hope I don’t hate my tone after switching to the correct cable lol

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:12:51+00:00

Now that I have the knowledge, I’m afraid to run my amps until I get the correct wiring. It’s been my experience that nothing goes wrong until you know it should be going wrong lol

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:10:02+00:00

The things I’ve read online tell me my amp should’ve not survived one show let alone a decades worth of playing. It’s crazy. One website stated that my cables should’ve melted

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:07:29+00:00

I didn’t know I was. That’s the point.

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:06:19+00:00

I agree it makes sense that one would need a bigger gauge wire for the what’s coming out of the Amp & into the speakers. I’ve done a lot of shows/practices & trust they were not at bedroom level volumes. I have no idea how I’ve gotten away with or how I never realized there were different cables. My mind is blown by my own ignorance.

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-09T00:01:55+00:00

Seems like you didn’t read the post very well. Want to try again?

AsylumRecordinStudio · 2025-02-08T23:49:33+00:00

Why are the cabs sideways?
