You have just built a quality speaker cable for your cabinet! This cable is the impedance delivery device
for your amplifier. It’s what connects the load (the speaker) to your amp. Most amplifiers, especially
tube amps, are very particular about what kind of load they are powering, so it is very important that
this cable is functioning properly. If there’s ever a problem with your cable, you’ll know how to fix it.
Disassemble the jack and look for bad solder joints, stray wires or damage to the insulation or the
plastic sleeve. Repair or replace as necessary. Heat shrink can be used to replace a damaged sleeve.
