Cable recommendations for wiring amp racks

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there. 
I'm looking for recommendations on what gauge single core cable to use for wiring racked amps to a Speakon patch bay, and where to purchase from in the UK? Ideally in a range of different colours  

Any other tips on achieving a neat and professional job would also be appreciated. I gather its a good idea to heat-shrink the connections and to plait the individual L+R cables together? 

Thanks 

Cosmic.
