Don't let me hurt your feelings, just poking a little fun.
Same is true with those Dodge products, once you switch out the camshaft, valve springs, pistons, fuel system, exhaust and gearing it changes the characteristics of the vehicle.

As much as I would like chicken fried steak and crispy hash browns it's not happening.
Just looking at some of the holiday food is making me fatter.

No ground loops to get into yer subs from that ungrounded outlet, either. That's smart, very smart.
Everything is plugged in to a modern grounded outlet though most throughout this old Sears catalog house look just like the one in the earlier picture.

Than why even mention the RCA/Voxx thing? What do you expect people to read into it when you mix a completley unrelated comment, with your real question?
Just as if GM designed let's say a flaw in a Buick muffler bearing, I was wondering if it went through the whole line of GM products hence my question.

Broke out the wire from RadioShack, still sounds sweet.
That's the latest in electrical outlets too, Bakelite reproductions.

Looks like a nice cabinet, sure work was put in the design.
Repair or replace the factory amplifier is my advice.

Thought nearfield when computer and monitor was mentioned, lots of tiny powered "studio monitors" out there.
Maybe I was wrong.

What's wrong with the driver and what makes you think replacing will lead to an upgrade ?
Ported cabinet should be hi passed if you want to do it right.

Had a pair of Jensen LS burn through a few. Probably asked too much out of them as well.

@jason str not sure what you are asking or implying. Voxx International is the parent of Klipsch (KGI), a wholly owned subsidiary. Voxx owns the RCA brand and label for audio products (as opposed to recording, music, etc.). Those accessories, including the wire, are made elsewhere and labeled "RCA" for sale to outlets like Lowes, Home Depot. What would cause you to suggest that KGI is using RCA brand wire in their speakers? They don't.
As previously mentioned, starting in about 2019, or possibly even earlier, they have been using Audioquest on some Heritage, as well as other speaker wire makers they have been using. I'm pretty sure it is 99.9% copper from the good ol' USA.
That may all be true, I'm sure it is, but I think you got drug down a rabbit hole from Jason's question. Jason implies because the parent company, Voxx International markets wire spools of external speaker wire in Home Depot, Lowes, and Amazon (made, packaged, and labeled overseas) that maybe KGI, a subsidiary speaker company, uses that wire in their speakers. Klipsch doesn't use RCA branded external speaker wire in their speakers, copper clad aluminum or otherwise.
I know you were addressing that CCA for speaker wire should be just fine, I just don't want people to come away from Jason's statement, that Klipsch is using CCA in their speakers.
Just a question, you guys read too deep into it. Wondered what is currently used.

Thanks all again for your responses! Thinking I'll go with the 12 awg knuconceptz kord.
Positive or Negative nothing sticks to the jacket. Below is exactly what to expect and it works as good as others though the + & - not easy for blind folk to find.

Picked up some Eight O Clock Expresso but a bit bitter for me so I mixed it in with the Columbian and it's quite good.

What's wrong with copper clad aluminum? Your overhead power distribution lines are aluminum? The fact aluminum wire is half the price of copper makes it very appealing.
For speaker wire we are going to oversize the wire for best performance, I can see why we strayed away from aluminum inside our walls of our home but for cheap speaker wire for a DJ gig it won't make any difference. For power distribution if you have an unacceptable loss across the wire aluminum is inferior as it will be less stable compared to copper when temp increases but this isn't an issue for this application when sized correctly. Since it is half the price you could even jump up to 12awg and it will be cheaper than 14awg copper and have less impedance.
Both copper and aluminum oxidize, aluminum oxidation is harder non-conductive crusty stuff so just make sure you make good connections but since it's usually copper clad aluminum this point is moot.
I don't know anything. Just wondering is all.

Looks nice. Had a few Mopar of various years myself & remember often replacing flex plates and various valve train issues. Fun when they run.
