Just in case I loose the envelope this is written on, below are the SPL losses for a full 8 driver Bass Cannon stack with different gauge speaker wires modelled with 1R amp to speaker and 7R for each driver:
18 awg = 2.16dB loss
16 awg = 1.37dB loss
10 awg = 0.34dB loss
6 awg = 0.12dB loss
I have some nice 18awg wire here but it is too lossy for this application and the foils would be 15.5 awg equivalent so they are of no use either. 10awg looks to be the sweet spot because it is much more available than 6awg wire.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
