    Default Blue Jeans Cable okey-dokey for jumpers??

    I'm planning on making some jumpers with some Blue Jeans 10 AWG and spades. Has anyone had any problems with the malleability of this wire or more specifically, the jacket? Just curious...

    I used the same wire for jumpers and just removed the wire from the jacket. (so instead of one 4" piece of wire in a white jacket, I had 2 4" pieces of wire one in red and one in black.)

    i'm debating whether to make the jumpers w/ nannners or spades...
    (while obviously using the opposite for the speaker connection)
    any votes for either method?
