Ao1FTW Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Do you absolutely need heat shrink tubing when doing the big 3? If its highly recommended on using it I will purchase some.

alphasig293 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Are you talking about around the end terminals? If so, I didn't use any on mine but I did tape it up good after I had connected them using my vise. Everything has been working good for me. 2005 Lariat F-150 On 30 inch DUBS 6 Crossfire XS-V2 18's 2 Cactus 12k's, 1 Cactus 1000, 1 sundown 100.4 12 - 6.5 Crescendo mids and 4 Crescendo supertweets SMD 340 alt, Mechman 270 alt 7 NSB 170 batterys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ao1FTW Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Well I was told you should put heat shrink tubing on the whole wire because it would be near high heat, but I didnt know if it would really matter.

It's used on the ring treminals where the cable goes in.

Maybe he was thinking of techflex. If you route your wiring properly, there is no need for this; however, there are some high temp resistant techflex oprtions out there that you can use if you are one who likes to "over-do" things.... then again, there are some really nice looking options out there too that frinds have used on all wire looms and such to make their engine bays looks nice, tidy, and uniform....
