Really need to put new cable to my speakers, this look decent ???

edit 3: i was looking at resistance of these speakers you are buying, you need to be careful with that. Mismatched speakers, you really need to get an adapter or something and run it properly. Running 6 ohm speakers from an 8 ohm receiver WILL give you problems over time.
Easy solution is to just add some 2 ohm or so power resistors in series to increase the total impedance to 8 ohms or above. You'll lose a little efficiency that way but not by enough to realy notice. And in practice, the output stage really only cares about current so it would work just fine with a direct connection as long as you don't turn it up too high.
 
Just thought I's update this one a bit, that 100 feet barely fit everything on the cable runs, had to even move one speaker in a bit.

My old stuff was really horrible and had degraded it seems, I had to readjust everything volume settings wise all over, I freaked out at first after initially running the wire and hooking the new center speaker up. Was a bit surprised how much of a difference the new cables made actually.

I still love that receiver, Sony STR-DG520 AV Receiver 5.1 they are still selling dirt cheap it seems *shrug*

Varies I guess, still see em from 250 to starting bids at 21 bucks, but those go up probably.

The one for the sub woofers I need to replace, that was just a silly idea that seems to work pretty well.

And yeah, I've cranked em up a few times messing around, but like NiHaoMike stated, most the time I don't need it loud for nice full sound now I can turn it up about halfway watching a movie and it will almost blow you out of the house.

Volume not really an issue, once I balanced a few things, it has a nice full sound over all without distortion.

Name the musicians in black and white photos for bonus points.

Just kidding a bit.

OK, NM I guess was being obscure.

But Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, James Brown, Jan and Dean, The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross and the Supremes.

Check out the T.A.M.I. show someday if you've never watched it for grins and giggles.

OK, I'll just let this thread die now.

:cheers:
