I left the stock headset cable attached to the PCB which then goes to the amp mains. I used solid copper for the few inches to connect that XLR.

30 guage was used for the signals and larger guage for the grounds in air/teflon/techflex. 8 strands which remains pretty flexible in the configuration I used. The hardest part was maintaining the original rubber grommet where they enter each side. Eventually I got those on and in their little holding spot, then reinforced the protrusions with heatshrink.

| And I just have to ask why you didn't use another 4 pin XLR at the lone cable end (the cable is held down by a tie wrap)? |
I didn't want another connector in the signal for one, and silver, copper magnet and original runs are kept separate right to the mains, so I would've needed 3. Otherwise the front 3 XLR's on the box would all be the same. Just combined them in one techflex sleeve for tidyness. I formed a grommet with heatshrink, guess I left a tie wrap on too.
