Dillan Turvold Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 Not much room to work with the wires in my deck and I was just wondering if I could use some standard 18 gauge copper speaker wire to extend the wires, any input? thanks Quote

CrazyCricket12 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 Yeah, I've done it before on an old kenwood flip out I had. I extended to wires goin to the brain box so I tuck it away nicely. Quote
Dillan Turvold Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Posted May 9, 2012 sounds good, thanks guys. i was just wondering if it could possible harm the connection in anyway overtime, I'll just have to try and see I guess Quote
SmallTruk Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 I'd go to radio shack or an auto parts store and get at least some yellow, red and black wire. Extending them all with speaker wire is just asking to get a wire mixed up and fry something. Quote
904slumpin Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 just go ahead and do it, aslong as you know which wire is which.. label them.. 18 gauge is good your headunit puts out maybe 15rms on each channel im guessing so thats fine Quote The random noises my friend's makes would be enough to make me want to take it out and smash it with a sledgehammer. I think it'd get more hits than the review you were thinking of

The power wires are the important ones i will try to match up the gauge of wire with the power wire i think it should be fine though, i might just go ahead and get the colored insulation like you said from radioshak just to make it easier to tell them apart, thanks though man.
