That's what it looks like to me, a 50 ft. roll of 2-conductor cable, and
per the resistance chart on the link I sent previously, 12 gauge should
be good for up to 90 ft. runs to an 8 ohm load. If you've priced wire
in the hardware store lately, this is a great deal! Another good
durable solution is to buy heavy duty extension cords when they're on
sale and chop the ends off. This solved an ongoing problem for a buddy
whose mutt seemed to think his speaker wires were chew toys.
As for admitting to playing records over 100 milliwatt Part 15
transmitters, I can safely say I did that. And......(checking statute
of limitations here....)...I may have even considered 100 milliwatts to
be more of a "suggestion" than an absolute limit ;-)
