RE: Re: Using CAT5 as speakers cable...

Yes, it is too late :-(.

But it's more than 20m of cable, through patch port, through sockets...

I just wonder, will it be music coming through the speakers, or just some noise...

Someone I know did this, connecting the 8 Cat5 wires into 2 lots of 4
connected together to effectivly form a 2 core wire. It works &
assuming you won't need it too loud there shouldn't be a problem. The
HiFi freaks will get sniffy mind...
Suggest you keep it away from your network & telephone sockets
though. I assume it's too late to feed some more suitable wire
through?
