Wesayso actually answered a question of mine in post #4607 of his “The Making of the Two Towers” thread that relates to this:
“The wiring scheme I have used is series/parallel. The thin wire I bought for that was a highly flexible 1.5 mm2 OFC type wire with PVC coating. Basically specked as a quality speaker wire. It consisted of multiple thin strands of copper that made it flexible. The longer runs were of the same type, just a bit thicker.
In hindsight I would not use that type of wire again. Nor the connection scheme. Parallel/series wiring has some advantages, mainly around the impedance peak of the drivers. I'd also use wire wit a lesser number of strands, which would make it more stiff, harder to handle, but does have advantages at higher frequencies.”
