Q:what is the best speaker wire for some subwoofers that are rated between 500rms watts to 750rms watts

loxotox has finally conviced me that he is obviously lying about his accomplishments. There is no way in hell that 2 or 4 gauge wire will fit to wire up the coils on these subs. It is physically impossible, unless you shave down the wire. I would not recomend doing that at all, that is speaking from what I know about electronics. I would suggest using 12 or maybe 10 gauge wire. You can use lighter wire but will not get optimum performance from your sub.

Q:no power to brown trailer wire

Q:I am replacing a 2 wire circuit for a fan/light combo with a 3 wire fan/light combo switch. I ran a new 12/2 w/grnd to the switch box. I ran a 12/3 w/grnd to the ceiling box for the fan. I have a ceiling fan and light control switch that control light and fan separately. I can't figure out which wires go to what.

To make that easy to understand we take fan as light and to turn on the fan you need one neutral wire one hot wire and one ground wire.Switch is a cut circuit device which will install in hot wire(simple circuit).If already it's wired you will have 4 connected wires in the light box which one of the hot wires and neutrals are directly to the light and separate from other wires,(BLACK AND WHITE) so connect them to the fan wires as same color and if you see green wire in fan connect it to the ground(COPPER). Now 3-way wiring is using 2 control for fan. 3-way switch has 3 entry 2on top and 1 in bottom (COMMON) SHOT DOWN POWER FIRST then: 1- connect main hot to first switch (TOP LEFT) 2-connect free hot wire 3/12(RED)to the (COMMON) 3- connect BLACK hot to (TOP RIGHT) 4-connect neutral to neutral and ground to ground 5-send 12/3 after connecting as above to the fan box. 6-IN other switch with another 3/12 wire connect BLACK to (TOP LEFT) 7-connect RED to (TOP RIGHT) 8-Connect WHITE to (COMMON)and by wire tape put a black sign to white wire as return HOT. 9-Send that wire to fan box . A-NOW in fan box connect RED TO RED and BLACK TO BLACK . B-connect NEUTRAL from first switch to the fan neutral wire C-connect all the ground to gather. D-connect WHITE wire from second switch to the BLACK wire of the fan and put the black tape on it to separate that from neutral wire. Before close the switches turn on power and try both switch to make sure one will turn off and another will turn on and opposite.

Q:My father changed out a 3 prong plug to a 4 prong plug and crossed the wires by mistake. So the red wire on the plug was connected to the black wire to the dryer and visa-verse. What would happen to the dryer if it is turned on with these wires crossed? Consequently, my dryer's motor is not responding, however the heating element is working. Was there a short? Did the motor get fired?

i have seen that problem before - usually its a ground problem - with the dryer itself - look at the wiring diogram of inside the unit - some you have to rerout -

Q:what size of wire do i need and is the new fuse box/trip box kept in garage.or where can i get wiring diagrams from

depends on what you want to do. the best thing to do is get the local building codes for your area and make sure you meet all the requirements. 14/2 is a good wire easy to use for 110v. Outlets, light switches. ect.

Q:How do you wire an electrical outlet and light switch in a bathroom? Box is existing, wires existing.

The first trick is to identify the wires. White wires will normally be neutral; there will be at least two colored or black wires, one of which will be the hot supply wire. Use a neon tester ($2 at a hardware store) to idenify which. If all of the white wires were tied together, then the switch will simply connect the two colored wires to each other; brush these together to verify that the light flashes. Now turn off the power at the breaker box. Connect the hot supply wire to a brass screw on the outlet, and attach a 6 piece of black wire to the other brass screw. Connect the joined white wires to a nickel-plated screw (you may need a wire nut and short piece of white wire to do this). Connect the short black wire to one of the screws on the switch, and the existing black wire to the other screw. And that should do it. Note that a double-width box is necessary for this. Code requires that a GFCI device be used in all bathroom outlets. If there is not one in the breaker box servicing the line to the bathroom, you should use a GFCI outlet device (about $12) rather than a conventional outlet. You can get a cover plate to match.

Q:hi i have 2000 prizm the wires coming out of car doesnt match the colours of stereo wires does and body knows the wiring coding for car to sony cd player thanks

determine it out making use of a DMM (digital Multi Meter) in case you already know a thank you to apply one. Ive finished it whilst each and every of the wires have been brown in a motor vehicle that by no ability orrigionally had a radio so each and every of the wires have been put in aftermarket. Im additionally MECP.

Q:The wire from the pinball machine only has two wires. How do I rewire the machine with a grounded wire and plug?

Just go to your home cente or electric supply house, and get as long as you need of 16/3 SJO or SJTW cord and a grounded plug, and replace the cord there.

Q:Just bought a new amp for my truck. The speaker outputs needs to be indiviually wired to the door speakers. Do you splice into the speaker wire or the trucks harness?

ideally you want to wire directly from the amp to the door speakers with new speaker wire but doing this properly requires removing some of the trimming and passing the new wires throughout the car. you can also take the easier route and pass the wires from your amp up under the steering wheel behind the center console and splice them into the existing wires going to the door speakers. as long as the wattage isn't very high the latter shouldn't be a problem. however, if it were up to me i would use new wires and pass them throughout the car, removing the trimmings, etc. this can be somewhat of a pain to do if you have never done it before though.
