Tell you what I do is put the cords together then I use the little plastic zip ties you can get at Walmart. Just put one on every 4-5" and trim off the excess. Seems to work really well.
Also, I recently (last few months) purchased some of those hose rollers on wheels when they went on sale at Walmart. I got three of them, one for mic cords, one for extension cords and one for speaker cords. I can now use those and mic cables and extension cords just hook into each other end to end. Rolls/unrolls fast, no more tangles and is easy to manage. The speaker cables I just found some velcro straps in the craft section. Works great!!!
just my $.02.
