anyone ever made any of this cable?

my roommate just got some new speakers, and i need to make 2 of these.

NL4 type connector

i've assembled other types of connectors before, but, how hard is this to make, and what is required? any soldering involved on it? and what type of cable running between the connectors.

going to make it myself to try and keep the cost down.

whatever

hey
its not that hard, i just 2 of them myself and bought 4 adapters w/o the cables.
speakon nl 4fx are the ones you want to get, if you want to do the cableing alone.

these are the ones which i got. on the adapters itself are 4 "ports". 1 +, 1+ and 2+, 2-;
just move the cables from your amp/whatever to the boxes and your done, but be aware;
8 cables are coming out of 1 box; at least it was with mine.
i hope that helps a bit

edit|| i would have done the adapters myself but you cant come close to the connectors from the box so i had to buy the adapters :/ otherwise this would have been such a ghettomodification as always :)
