What wire to use for accesories?

[Mikey Bates]

I have some LED's that i am puting and my volt meter as such. anyways, wht do you guys reccomend doing for wire and wher to get it? 10 gauge automotive wire from radio shack? or like 8 gauge from the battery into a fused power distributer. . . i asked this a while ago i think but it was for way more eltrical. not really running much

You don't need 10 gauge. You can pull it off with like 14 or 16. And Walmart for the cheaps.

i have cheap radio shack 16 gauge speaker wire. that work?

I use Stinger 10 or 12 gauge with an inline fuse and a relay that goes to a barrier strip. This way I can plug in quite a few things without worrying and its neat and tidy. That is the way I would do it for multiple remotes and accessories. As for the volt meter that gets connected directly to the amp usually so you run that straight there. I got all my stuff from Darvex.com except the barrier strip which I got local from Advance Auto Parts or Autozone both have em. You could always get a kit from Snafu at CE and this way you know its done right the first time.

The relay turns everything on when I cut the car on. I would honestly speak to Snafu no one is as knowledgeable about this than him the guy is married to electricity.

*Edit*

It turns everything on that I have connected to my barrier strip when I turn the radio on. Just figured I would clean that up.

haha will do and good to know

If you are using more than 1 amp you should have a relay for your remote wire anyways. It is less strain on the head unit.

As mentioned above. Snafu will set you up with whatever you need.
