How much cable should I order? I'm replacing the runs to the standard speaker locations in a touring. No sub as yet.
Thanks!

2 x 3.5 metres for the front? less half that would do the fronts .4 metres would be enough for a rear.

Well I just got a roll of 189 strand OFC cable (25m) for £15 delivered. I'll use the rest in the house. I tried linking but the forum didn't like it...
