Speaker Cables

Speaker cables are special cables used for connecting amp heads to speaker cabinets. They need to be thicker physically than regular instrument cables in order to adequately handle the much greater voltages that pass through them.

The wires inside speaker cables are thick copper. The shorter and thicker the wire, the lower its resistance, which results in better performance.

For guitar amps, a speaker cable normally employs a standard 1/4" jack cable. For bass, it is common to see cables with 'speakon' connectors which lock the cable in place.

We carry a range of speaker cables in each of our guitarguitar stores. Our entire selection is also available online. We keep cables by multiple brands and in multiple lengths.
