I am presently looking to improve the long(60 ft) cable I use for the tweeters(16ohm per side) of my triamped system.
Ok, I have learnt that thin cables and many of them would be the best approach for high freq transmission. I doubt this is still true for such a length, even If I utilize biwiring/multiwiring?. Any clue on what numbers(gauge, number of conductors per side) will best work in this case?
Also, they will have to be well covered(flexible and resistant) into a single bulk(just for the tweeters), in order to stand the outdoor experiences they will be put up to. I already have a good 1x4 conduc. going to the other drivers, obviously; I didn't expect to find a good single multiconductor cable, having all the appropiate different gauges inside...
Also, I read that insulation affects the highs, but safety issues are first here(is going to be walking/dancing over it).
Plus it would have to be 120ft, hopefully below $100 and still hoping for the best attainable sound quality. Ok, I understand this begins to look more like a Proaudio cable; I just would like to get them as closer as possible to audiophile level(as I've tried with the rest of the sound system) even if I have to do it in stages.
Anyway, it would be good to know how far I could be for such an apt spk wire.
I dont think it would be possible to build them myself?, just for the difficulty in getting a decent rough cover to such a long run.
Any ideas on this dilemma or suggestions on what could be a solution for this configuration.
Thanks for the help.

S.O.W CAB tire which can be bought at any industrial supplier in in 3 or 4 conductor twisted will take any weather; burial or pounding on
I doubt that this is what you have in mind, but man what a deal.

Add a couple of Speakeron's and your in buisness.

Thanks for your fast and practical info.
Joe; I could not find(google) Cab tire wire, or understand what SOW is,...added???s already, that's how knowledge always seems to begin...
Da5id4vz; Nice bits...or loads.
Anyway, at this point I would like to learn a better sound quality criteria;
More like;
-will 24 gauge(or which small) multiwire be good for such a long run?, would not mean much loss?. how could it be calculated? I guess the typical length/gauge tables dont apply as such in a bi/multiwire cable solely dedicated to transmit high freq content, is it?. Or is it that is just the sum of gauges/ distance what counts?
-Or still "the less stranded is the better" works here?
-Plus, what kind of shielding would be the best for the task and still be flexible and rough outside?
obviously If such cable does exist it would be great to know which or where to find it or ...how difficult would be to build it.
Additionally if it could come cheap(like what happens with transformer's wire), then most excellent...if that is not the case; It would be nice to know what comes closer as a technical optimal and only secondarily the economic choices.
...And get me rightly; any input will be appreciated.
