That would look hideous for direct leads. Better to use power wire 8awg ofc to have a clean jacket.

what would look hideous? The plan was to use 8awg direct lol

Using speaker wire format 8awg would be ugly because when tearing the pos from negative side you don't get a clean tear. If you use 8 awg ofc power wire then the jacket won't have any tear marks.

The direct leads on my dc which I'm guessing is the same wire cj is selling are sexy as hell and have a clean jacket.

750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.

If they are clean then it's not speaker wire format. Cj sells sky high car audio cable in which both formats are available. No one seems to get the difference. Speaker wire format +/- together. Power/ground format the wires are apart. Most direct leads I've seen are NOT speaker wire format.

why tear it?

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

It's all personal preference but I have never seen direct leads with traditional speaker wire format.

I think the joined leads would be something different to do and might look good

Why is the most relevant topic right now concerning whether or not my wires should be connected or not? I hadn't planned on 8ga speaker wire, but even if I did and it mattered I could just cut them straight down the middle. I'm honestly not concerned with how the edge of my direct lead wiring looks compared to whether or not I can successfully keep this coil linear enough to keep it from literally destroying itself by catching an edge at 30 Hz or something, or maybe whether the spiders will hold together well enough........ you know, important things.

Fucking love Alan you goddamned fucking super nerd lol

When Alan uses big words I don't understand

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room.

I missed Alan.

RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.

when you mean ceramic inserts, you mean like shims basically? really really thin shims that go on the inside of the VC?

you got a link or anything? and keep in mind these things would have to be THIN, I mean T.H.I.N. I can't fit 2 pieces of paper in there to keep it in perspective for you.
