Ill probably be flamed with this, oh well.
Im currently looking for just a low gauge (0-6) Gauge wire.. ive looked at Home Depot, and Lowes online, and none of them carry lower than 10G..

Where do all of you get your speaker/power/amplifer Wires from?
I dont really want to spend any money on a Ampkit..

 

ebay....


about the easiest thing you can get on ebay.

 

KnuKonceptz

 

knukonceptz for wiring, I like stinger's stuff when it comes to battery terminals and such. My knukonceptz battery terminals didn't grip my red top's battery posts very well and rusted out after a couple of years

 

i use monster cable

 

Don't you have a local cheap stereo shop that has spools of it?

 

Home Depot cables are good enough for low power home stereo's and such. Car audio is much more demanding, so skimping on cables is not recommended. You really get what you pay for here.

I bought my cables from cardomain (stinger) and knukonceptz

 

I got mine from this place called Bronx Speaker .. thats where i bought my DJ equipment.. and the make custom speaker boxes

 

I twist my own strands of wire in my basement. Then dip it into a pot of melted plastic.

 

That sounds economical and logical!

 

do you melt your own copper too?

 

Of course. The mine is on the other side of the house. You must have missed it.

 

...10chars

 

uhh

 

would a audio shop be generally cheaper then a premade set?

 

depends on the shop. but for the most part, the shop will raise the price a wee bit so that they can make some profit selling the wire sets.

 

a wee bit?

cables usually have the most ridiculous markups i've ever seen.. take it from someone who works at a retail store lol.

 

Big +1 on that. If you can't get employee discount at a shop, then go online to get your wires.















or make them yourself

 

i got a discount on my wires becaues i spent $10,000 with them prior

 

Ouch? lol, thanks guys for all your help! i guess ill try around online.. im running 10G with a 1600watt amp :P wire gets a wee-bit hot.. burnt the pre-fuse wire connection recently... so i was planning to find some low gauge wire to replace it with..

 

hmm...didnt' realize you were local...

check out Stereo FX on 45 north near west road (close to fry's electronics). they have wires for pretty cheap.

 

I twist strands of CAT5 together.

 

oh when i priced it out elsewhere.. that 10g's was pretty good price

 

so..... I make fiber optic wiring.....

 

i use wireless power...its all the rage here

 

I usually go to a local electronics shop and get ti there but this place has a lot of neat stuff...

Don't want to spend a few extra dollars on good wire? Why exactly would someone want to make that the weak link of their installation? Better invest in better insurance coverage and a fire extinguisher.

 

I know in my area the shops discount wire pretty good cause they don't sell much of it anymore and it keeps the sales on it up. About the same price as the internet after shipping.

 

I used to wrok at tweeter and when they got rid of the Monster Cable line I picked up the remaing 80 ft of zero gauge monster ( silver) I can seel 20 ft to you pretty cheap if you still need it !

 

i buy from
