Electrical wire splicing is the act of removing the outer shell of a wire, exposing the inside and connecting to another wire that is also spliced. This also allows you to add length to wiring.

Can copper speaker wire be spliced with silver speaker wire?

Splicing Different WiresYes, IF the rules of proper splicing are followed, dissimilar metals can be successfully spliced.Some of those rules that I can recall at the moment include:The part of the wires to be connected by splicing MUST be clean and free of any grease, dirt, corrosion, or deleterious material.A "sound" mechanical connection MUST be made. That means either the wires properly twisted together, OR a mechanical device [connector, wire nut, or some type of terminal used].If a twisted mechanical splice is used, then the splice joint should be soldered to both "lock" the twisted splice, and to prevent the atmosphere from getting into the wire interface, causing corrosion which will degrade the current carrying ability of the splice joint.

What is the procedure for splicing home service wires?

The electrical code states that any splice in a wire, the insulation over the splice has to be equal to or greater than the insulation on that of the rest of the wire. So what ever type of splice that you use make sure that you insulate it well.
