Speaker Wires

[big_steve_x]

i have just bought some nice oxygen free etc speaker wire for me car, but where should i start to wire it??, from the back of the head unit?? (bearing in mind there's loads of wires goin in to it!) or should i start somewhere along the wires??

[Cheese]

Start at the headunit, otherwise the signal still has to run through the crappy standard wire.. So it wont sound as clear as it could do..

Does that make sense??

Ben :D

:D Twin 40's on the way :D

yeah i agree with ben start at the HU, make a proper job of it tho you will really notice the difference especially at high db

yep, makes sense, thanks, but, how do i find which wires it is, and how do i get the wires out of the BIG plug thing that goes into me head unit?

you cant get em out of the plug. but you can solder em on as close as possible (thats what ive done). as for which is which, either test or get the wiring diagram for the headunit (i know sony provide them when you buy the headunit). Ive got nice 10AWG running to the back of the car and then a Neutrix connector and 12AWG to the speakers in the shelf

Neutrix connector ....where can i buy one of those (what ever it is, lol)

[AphiD]

I had to buy that H/U connector thingy, I got mine from Halfords. I think it was about 3 or 4 quid. but it was so easy to wire up. it had the names on the wires and they were colour coded too...

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

[Stuart]

a neutrix connector kit is available from halfords at ?12

or go to maplins and buy the two bits seperately for ?6 lol
