sideshow_kustom Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Playing around with some wiring Ideal's, going to run solid core 10awg to them so I can bend them and have them nice and neat. This was just a sample the wire's will be Blue & white once done! I do electrical work and when I saw the green my mind said "ground" and then my OCD kicked in about circuit wire colors lol Yeah I know but it was all the Solid core wire I had sitting around to try!!! Didn't want to buy a roll of White & Blue and it not work out for me! LOL Then again the electrical work I do them colors wold tell me 24vdc or 120vac hot (Blue) and 120vac neutral (White) I guess audio stuff can be FLEXIBLE on the color's! LOL same here lol back when I was taking my motor controls class, people would always ask me why I used specific colors for specific voltages and controls and would ask if it really mattered. Everyone besides myself would use only one color, and a lot would use green for their power wires and their neutrals. It got on my nerves pretty bad lol Yeah that get's on mine to! When I open up an electrical cab-nit I like to see the proper color wires run for the voltage it is & for every thing to be labeled! Makes trouble shooting much easier! I got to the point where even if I know the power is off I check it on AC & DC cause you never know what someone else has wired up it with any ol color wire! 1 Quote Drive In Theater Speaker Build http://www.stevemead...-speaker-build/ Suitcase Build http://www.stevemead...ld-in-bis-kwik/ Coleman Cooler Build http://www.stevemead...ld-in-bis-kwik/ X10 Box Build http://www.stevemead...under-bis-kwik/ Complete Build Log On Bis-Kwik http://www.stevemead...13-wagon-build/ NEW SUB'S 8 SundownAudio X6.5sw Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197034-new-wagon-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhunt94 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 It does make it so much easier. It's a shame that some people just don't care about the people that have to come behind them and figure out the mess that they've made, but some honestly just don't care. Same thing with sytems, I'll have someone bring their vehicle to my house because something isn't working right and it will look like a rat's nest. 1 Quote 2007 Ford F-150 Reg. Cab.

CortezDTV Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Do not use solid core wire! If you want something rigid, use copper tube or a very low strand count wire but Do not use solid core wire!!!

CortezDTV Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Do not use solid core wire! If you want something rigid, use copper tube or a very low strand count wire but Do not use solid core wire!!! Please explain why he shouldn't use solid core wire..Solid core wire will break after vibrations, it's meant to be installed in a home where it is never subjected to vibration. The wire will crack inside the sheathing. It will ohm out but you will get static and shorts through the speakers, use copper tube much stronger than copper wire, also mug more rigid and will actually hold the bends.When the solid core wire does finally break, you won't be able to tell, when you ohm it out it will read alright but you won't be able to get any current through the break in the wire. Been there done that!!! Never again!!!
