I'll need new speaker wire. Does Knu offer custom cut lengths? I'll need two big runs (surrounds at ~35'). More importantly, when will the site b back up?
Thanks!

It's pretty stout, definitely more than I need in that room (22' x 20' x 8'). The manufacturer laughed when I told them how big of a room that subwoofer was going into. From what I understand, it puts out roughly the output of three Velodyne DD-18's (which unfortunately cost about $3500 each).

The B12-Plus/4, as it's now called, uses four DB-12 high excursion low distortion 12" drivers, and four ports (which can be plugged). The monster weighs 190 lbs or so. It can, in theory, be driven closer to its thermal limits by a 5000w amplifier, but I've found the 2500w easily more than enough.

Yeah, you can simply buy the length and gauge you want:
http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.cfm?Category=Speaker%20Wire
I tried two different kinds of banana plugs for the ends, a standard and a locking. I found the locking to be build very very well, and stay much more securely. I used screw type instead of the solder type.
This place sells em for a great price, as low as under $3 each:

The drawback to the locking plugs is it fits much better on thicker cabling. It was a pretty good fit with that 10AWG cabling, when I doubled the bare wire up inside it.
Then, you can finish it up with heat shrink tubing, and if you want the boutique cable look, you can add techflex (though I left mine bare).

Site? its always up. We have spools of up to 2500ft. So just let us know what you need, we can cut it.
I personally do not like the locking ends, they hold very well but the contact area is limited. That is why we offer the BFA type instead.

Yes, SVS subs are extrememly good quality and sound amazing, but they come with a big price tag. They are definitely worth the money if you have it though

As much as I'd like an old Altec, you really could never utilize its capabilities unless you were in a huge room.
