Cable for BD15s (BD-Design)

I always understood that high current amplifiers, like the one I use for
the BD15s, need thicker wire.

You can get enough current through a line-level wire to kill a man. What makes you think you need to go thicker than the voice-coil wire.

I am not a physicist, but a biologist, so I
may be wrong. Its seems that a lot of small strands might not do the job
as well as a one or two thicker wires, what do you think?

Doesn't seem so to me, if you think that kind of reasoning counts.

In addition,
the cheap wire is not terminated and tends to corrode after a few months.
Maybe spade terminations would give a better connection?

When it's run through any kind of terminal, and clammed, it doesn't tend to corrode, because it is more or less sealed off.

The fact is that metal is a great conductor. I see people using just a couple of strands of CAT5 (47Labs-style), and saying how _that_ is better than other configs..
