Right! That's a challenge. Photos to come.

Do you happen to know how they're routed? If it's a swimming pool, I might go HSS

Re: Show us your whole setup....

You bought a new amp? Must've missed that. Nice, tidy set up. Traded the Friedman today, had to get some cash to support the motorcycle habit.
