DHFHades Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I was just wondering what is the best way to run speaker wire through MDF...drill a hole the same size as the wire and run it in, or use bolts to go through?

ROBERT 04XBLZ Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 the best way that i was told is to drill the whole the same size as the wire and run it through and add some caulking or something to seal it.

raytard Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 tsunami and stinger make 2 or 4 strand speaker lines encassed in a round jacket, a bit easier to use in an airtight situation than the conventional side by side wires Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHFHades Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) I'm gonna be running the 8ga karma wire actually, it may be better to use bolts for that wire, that shit is HUGE...lol Edited February 17, 2009 by DHFHades Quote 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Pioneer DEH-P2900MP, Big 3 done in 1/0, 1 run 1/0 ran to amp DAT HF1000.1 #007 powering a DC lvl4 15 DAT HR 4085 prototype powering 2 Selenium 6s and 2 no name tweeters running active 1st place in AS3 @ Surf City Sound Off, 140.8 @ 45hz @ the headrest. rebuild coming soon to get a better score "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail.

ISO Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) It a good idea to put a loose knot in the wire on the inside of the box at the hole and then silicone the hell out of it.

ISO Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Everything you put in line with something helps build up restince(can't spell). I also feel its safer.
