Q:I am making a lamp shade that calls for bonsai wire. How is bonsai wire different from regular wire and what would be a good substitute for it????

Bonsai wire may be purchased with coatings of various natural colors so it will not distract attention. Also, bonsai wire is usually single strand conductor because it is stiffer and will retain its shape better than multistrand. . Generally, wire is wire. For your purposes Grasshopper, find some house wire at the local home center..

Q:I have two black wires running to a light switch that I need to extend about a foot. I cannot identify the hot wire because both wires are black and I have no white wire. Can I cap off both wires and then test each with a voltmeter? If the circuit is not complete, will the hot wire still be live?

yes you can cap both and yes the hot wire is still hot. take volt/muilt meter set to a/c 200volts touch red lead to one black wire black lead to other . if it +115-125 red lead is on hot wire if it reads -115-125 the black is on the hot wire

Q:a difference of 25 feet with 16 gague wire

It depends on the impedance of the speakers; but 25 feet should not be a problem as long as your speakers are not less than 4 ohm, if your speakers are rated at 4 ohm you might want to use 14 gauge wire as 25 feet is considered the maximum length for 16 gauge wire..either way 14 gauge or 16 gauge wire with 4 ohm speakers and above should not damage your amp, 16 gauge wire may effect performance a little...if you are talking about different length wire to each speaker then you should use 12 gauge wire to the longer length and 16 gauge wire to the shorter length.....and even then you may notice some differance in preformance but that would keep it to a minimum...

Q:Will a subwoofer amplifier wiring kit be for the sub and the amplifier???? Because I'm searching online and I can find amplifier wiring kits, but not a subwoofer wiring kit. Only a subwoofer amplifier kit???

The amp kit should have everything for the amp. all you need for the subs is the speaker wire. make sure you get some good wire tho.

hi, stay Brown (was once pink on older issues) impartial Blue (was once black) Earth Now eco-friendly with a yellow stripe (was once basically eco-friendly) eu regs here we bypass lower back ! A circuit is made with the aid of passing modern with the aid of a gadget, and to get all technical, the electron flow travels fron the better stress stay conducutor back throughout the impartial, for that reason spinning your meter. The earth is an significant protection characteristic, in that without it, a bathing device would have a stay physique without tripping a breaker, as an occasion. Your impartial to earth voltage could be checked, as curiously at how sturdy the earth connection back on your community sub-station is. stay to impartial could ideally be 240V, yet they're allowed 10% the two way. In plugs, all you do is understand that the stay is going throughout the interior fuse, the earth is the great pin, which leaves no determination for the impartial Gods, i'm meant to be a power engineer, so wait till you get onto 5 huge distinctive colored cables Sounds simplistic, yet human beings do go incorrect Bang !

Q:Got a new kenwood stereo to replace the old kenwood one in my VW polo 1998. Workes fine but when I pushed the stereo into my dashboard a wire came out so I pulled it out and put it back in. It worked, but next morning my car battery was near dead, I unplugged the stereo and its fine now. I assume I used wrong wire? Does anyone have a diagram or picture of how it should be wired?

When you wired it did you butcher the wires or use a wiring harness? With the wiring harness, everything is labeled and color coded. Match colors to the kenwood wiring harness, splice or use butt connectors, plug harness into factory harness and player, attach antenna wire and you're done! If you did butcher the wires and left enough wire, repair the harness and buy a harness kit at your local sound shop, really cheap too! Good luck!

Q:I want to connect one of my rear sony speakers along the baseboard to my receiver. The specs say that the wire comes with 4 terminal blocks, with 4 connections on each terminal. My question is what will connect to what? Will the speaker attach the the flat wire cable that will attach to the original speaker cable which will connect to the receiver? It will be much appreciated.

it relatively is least puzzling to run the cord only alongside the perimeters of the room decrease than the carpet. only %. up one section at a time from the tack stripping with pliers. confirm the cord isn't on the tack stripping. Press the carpet returned onto the stripping whilst a piece is finished. in case you may bypass a doorway that has a seam you are able to tape the cord to an unraveled coat hanger and bypass it decrease than the carpet. be careful to no longer bunch up the padding and watch your knuckles on the tack stripping. Worst case state of affairs you are able to cut back and re-seam that beginning.

Q:Need to know what colors are for what and the function of each wire.

You can get the harness at WalMart or Best Buy. It connects to the aftermarket radio and then just plugs right in to the vehicles harness.....unless you already hacked it off. The thing only cost about $15.00 and makes the installation process a breeze.

take (i use 12 gauge wire on my sub installs) 16-14 gauge wire and hook up the positive on the amp to the red terminal on the sub and negative to the black one. I'm not really sure what you need exactly
