37-690 speaker wire
#1

What gauge wire is used for the wiring going from the bottom chassis to the voice coils and field coils on the woofer and the two tweeters. Is all the speaker wires the same gauge? They look to be too me.

The reason I ask is I just found out that the wiring going to the left tweeter is in need of repair. I figure I will just replace them all. The holes in the chassis are going to be a limiting factor in choosing the largest usable gauge wire. The conductor measures .030 which if I have it correct is 20 gauge.
The insulation measures .095. The new 20 gauge 600 volt cloth covered wire available at Radio Daze is .120-.125 inches. I question if there is enough room to pass 20 gauge 600 volt wire through the holes in the chassis. I sure do not want to mod the chassis to fit. They do sell non rated 20 gauge wire that is .095 inches. I just can't believe they used such small wire for the voice coil wiring and it freaks me out that they used 20 gauge for the field coils. H**l if I had the room I'd use 10 gauge. So what do you think.

It's not what you don't know that hurts you it's what you know that's not so.
