18 gauge wire is good for wiring speakers over long runs. It is better to buy the best shielded wire to reduce possible interference.

Does expensive speaker cable sound better?

No. As long as the cable is the correct gauge for your speaker load, there is no difference in sound between expensive cable and "zip" cord.


Can you add 14-2 romex wire to old house wiring?

Yes, if the existing wiring you are adding to is 14 gauge. If it is 12 guage then you must use 12 gauge. If you are running wire from the service panel it is fine as long as you install a 15 amp breaker.


How do i wire a speedometer in a 72 CJ5 there are no marking on it for pos or neg please help?

What are you wiring? The speedo is cable operated. If you are wiring up the lights, it doesn't matter, as long as you have a "hot" and a ground the lights will work. If you are wiring up one of the gauges built into the speedo it depends on which gauge you are wiring up.


What number wire gauge for a single pole light switch?

In residential wiring applications the most used is 14 gauge wire for light switches as long as the circuit breaker or the fuse is 15A. If your lighting circuit is on a 20A fuse/circuit breaker then you need to use 12 gauge wire

Will an 8 gauge wiring kit support 2 12 inch subs and a 500 watt amp?

at least 8 gauge would work depending how long your running the wire. The number of subs does not matter, only the power rating of the amp does. my advise would be to just go ahead and buy a GOOD 4 gauge kit, this will give you more flexibility when you may decide to upgrade your system. don't cheap out with anything it's just a waste of money.


Which speaker wires are positive and which are negative the wiring diagram does not show for a 1997 Ford F-250?

It doesn't really matter which colour you use for positive as long as you use the same colour for every speaker.If not your speakers will be out of phase.

Why do amplifiershave low output impedence?

The objective of a sound system is to obtain good frequency response which is the role of the speaker. If the speaker has high impedance, which would mean many turns of wire in its voice coil, it would reject high frequency notes due to high inductive reactance. A low speaker impedance requires a low output impedance from the amplifier to maximize the energy transfer from the amplifier to the speaker. A drawback to low impedance systems is that the wiring current is higher between the amp and the speaker and long runs will encounter a significant power loss in the resistance of the wire. That is why some amplifiers will have a 70 ohm output so that the current will be lower. Then, a 70 ohm to 8 ohm impedance matching transformer will be located at the speaker.
