has anyone tried "Monster cable home series" speaker cable. I pick some up for $.11 per feet. I want to used them for internal wiring in my speaker. I'd be grateful for any feedback.

almost all wires sold as loudspeaker wire, are of good qualtity. The price you'd have to pay is very low. If the wire is not very thin, I would go for them. Considering you intend to use the wire inside a speakerbox, even a very thin cable wouldn't be bad, because the length required is very small.

The cables are 16ga. I will use it with a tweeter and a midrange. My sister pickup 200ft of soundking 12ga for $5.00,the same cable I overlooked the day before. She the best bargainhunter I have seen. The 12ga is for two dual woofer subwoofers
