Trey_Dog650 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Dumb question. Can I use speaker wire to rewire an old truck. Of course using the correct gauge. Its got old nasty ridiculously long wire now and was thinking about replacing and re-running everything while I have the engine pulled 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.

SnowDrifter Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I would verify that the wire you're using has the appropriate heat and chemical resistance suitable for use in an engine bay. OFC / Tinned OFC only for this application. You WILL be redoing it if the stuff is CCA (seems to be more common in speaker wires, something to look out for). ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Look into a Painless! wiring kit. Most of the work is already done for you, besides putting it in. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trey_Dog650 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Shoot just about $800 for the wiring kits... almost what I paid for the truck lol think I’m just gonna go and replace all the wires. I’ll check with Jon and see what the temp specs are of his stuff. Almost had the motor pulled Sunday but there was a rounded over nut on the flywheel 😰 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
