I had to buy several items just to realize that Cable Neutrik was the best choice for the price all along. The only negatives I’ve found were that there are better units available, but they are more expensive and the reviews I found on them were on the negative side. So here’s my final word. I 100% endorse Cable Neutrik and will even show you some places to get it even cheaper than retail.
best place to buy bulk instrument cable?
I've been looking in to buying cable Cable Neutrik and neutrik connectors to make my own guitar cables. What is the best place to buy from that sells cheap cable buy the foot, such as mogami or canare?

Definitely go with the Speakon. It was designed from the ground up to be a speaker connector. The 1/4 inch connector is a very old design and was never meant for speaker level voltage and current.The speakon will never pull out, has low contact resistance, no soldering needed, accepts large gauge wire, super durable (need I go on?). Plus you’ll look more professional.
That amp will drive 2 Ohms so you could just parallel both cabs together and run the amp as a mono bridged output.The other option (like you have it) is to run each cab in the Biamp modeYou will get a bit more power if the cabs are paralleled, but it will be a ‘mushier’ sound with the lower impedance.I would stick with what the manual recommends on page 13 for the BiAmp mode:http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/SVT4PRO.pdf.
i have those strings, a decent amp, and good cables. i don’t care if i still have the original pickups, there’s no way to make it sound real. the fretwire is still bad, the neck is still bad, and the body is still bad. and besides you can get a real stratocaster off of craigs list for 250 and up.and that caps is just plain annoying
Yes there are Speakon to 1/4 inch adapters:http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/VTG-NA4LJR-NEUTRIK-SPEAKON-F-ADAPTER?sku=336313

Probably around 16 gauge. Maybe 14 gauge if the insulation isn’t too heavy. The problem is getting the complete cable through the rubber boot and into the connector. If the wire and insulation together creates a cable that’s too heavy it’s very difficult to do. Unless you’re going a fairly long distance, there’s no real need for a large cable.
I would urge you to take a look at The Pod XT (made by Line 6) for effects…it’s $300…the XT Live is $400, worth the extra $100 as it is a floor unit – every effect known to man, and you can also download sounds that other people have created with it and posted online…check it out at your guitar store (assuming you haven’t already, it’s kind of the obvious choice). A pro session guitarist I met told me he hated the original Pod, thought it sounded tinny, but really likes the XT and thinks it is a huge improvement. I’m partial to the Marshall amp sound…but with the gadget above, you can make an Ibanez through a Fender amp sound like a Les Paul through a Marshall amp and vice-versa. I’ve used pretty much the same Fender amp for >15 years and it’s still humming along, so I guess that speaks well on the quality question – good luck and keep rockin -
Here’s a technical information page on the connector.It says 12 AWG or 10AWG
The best/cheapest place I have found (and purchased the exact same items you are looking for) is E-bay..
The following is a list of the more popular brands of 1/4″ (phone) plugs (and jacks) as well as a few of the better-known online audio and musical instrument retailers. Though there are several other brands those with which I am most familiar are Neutrik, Switchcraft, Pro Co and Whirlwind; Switchcraft* will probably be the lowest-price connectors you will find from amongst the higher quality brands. The Switchcraft Series 188 and 299 Heavy Duty 1/4″ Commercial Phone Plugs are excellent plugs and are highly recommended.Neutrik – Audio – Plugshttp://www.neutrik.com/us/en/audio/203_63341/Plugs_group.aspx Pomona Electronics– 1/4″ Phone Plugs and Jackshttp://www.pomonaelectronics.com/search.php?startnum=1&searchtype=All&keywords=1/4 – [PDF] Model 6873 2-Pole, 1/4″ Phone Plughttp://www.pomonaelectronics.com/pdf/broadcast/2417020_6873_6874.pdf Pro Co Sound 1/4″ (Phone Plug) Cable Mount Connectorshttp://www.procosound.com/products/catalog/show/77 Switchcraft* 1/4″ (0.250″, 6.35mm) Jacks & Plugshttp://www.switchcraft.com/products/jack-search.html Whirlwind – Audio Connectors & Adaptershttp://www.whirlwindusa.com/audadp01.html ________________________ Cardas Audio 1/4″ Phone (not “Phono”) Plugshttp://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=oem&content_id=26 Authorized Cardas Dealers http://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=dealers&dealer_type_name=OEM/Component+Parts&content_id=9 FURUTECH FP-703(G) High Performance Mono Phone Plughttp://www.furutech.com/new1/produ_2.asp?ProdNo=234 Distributor/Dealer – Elite Audio Video Distributionhttp://www.eliteavdist.com/detail.cfm?id=9004845 ________________________ The Cable Companyhttp://www.thecableco.com D’Addario Planet Waves – Cable Station™ Plugshttp://store.daddario.com/category/148173/Cable_Station%26%238482%3B__Plugs George L’s Custom Gear – Solderless Phone Plugshttp://www.georgelsstore.com/custom.html Guitar Center – Jacks & Plugshttp://www.guitarcenter.com/Jacks—Plugs-Cables.gc?ipp=100 MCM Electronics – 1/4″ Audio Connectorshttp://www.mcmelectronics.com/browse/1/4%22/3831293 Music123 – Jacks and Plugshttp://www.music123.com/Jacks—Plugs-Cables—Snakes.Music123?pgno=1&ipp=48 Musician’s Friend – Jacks & Plugshttp://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/navigation/jacks-plugs-cables?N=100001+306369&Ns=P_Score%7c1&rpp=80 Parts ConneXionhttp://www.partsconnexion.com Sam Ash (Music Store) – Connectorshttp://www.samash.com/catalog/categorysub.asp?categorysubid=649&departmentid=9 Sweetwater Sound – Connectorshttp://www.sweetwater.com/c809–Connectors zZounds – Connectorshttp://www.zzounds.com/cat–Connectors–2352*Digi-Key, Mouser, Onlinecomponents.com, Sager Electronics, Newark and Allied Electronics are a few other major sources that also sell Switchcraft connectors.http://www.stkcheck.com/evs/mfg2.asp?mfg=SWITCHCRAFT&part=238&stype=Search ________________________ Rane Corporation – Reference Libraryhttp://www.rane.com/library.html– Sound System Interconnectionhttp://www.rane.com/note110.html – [PDF] Sound System Interconnectionhttp://www.rane.com/pdf/ranenotes/Sound%20System%20Interconnection.pdf
