What's the length
'Bout an inch....

and thickness of your single strand of wire?

Real tiny - less than a mm?

Must read the thread more closely. Didn't see the photo.
You've added at least 10 milliohms to one speaker cable.

** Not even that much.

Say the strand is 0.5mm dia and 25 mm long copper.

Works out at only 2.2 milliohms.

Take over 20 amps to make it glow and melt.

The photo looks like an inch of 0.2mm diameter wire from a 79 strand
2.5mm^2 cable.
I think it would blow at less than 20 amps but the voice coil would
probably blow first.


The actual *facts* of the matter are that, no matter what the *figures* may
or may not be, the single strand is still working perfectly well and will
obviously sustain enough current to provide a 'heap plenty loud' (too loud)
sound as I said earlier - not as Pucci prated:

"By the pic such as it would melt very quickly with a decent amp into decent
speakers at a reasonable level. Just like a fuse."

IOW, yet another blistering example of where a little simple experimentation
will demonstrate that most (if not all) clowns who consider themselves
*experts* are usually anything but....
