Q:my husband is running wire to a hot tub, which uses a 220 plug. he is going to hook up a 30 amp breaker. what size wire should be used?

If he does not know he had better leave it to a pro or you will get fried or burn the place down! GEEZ!

Q:Do wired controls work better than wireless? My hubby uses wireless and I wonder if wired would transmit quicker?

it doesnt matter wired and wireless work just the same

Q:Just took off the starter on a cavalier and forgot to label the wires. Can someone please send me a diagram of where all these wires go, or just tell me where they go. there are big post and one small one. Please help asap. Thanks.

all wiring with large eyelet end,s go to main solenoid terminal...the large brass/copper post in the center/top. the small wire/wire,s attach to the terminal marked with a S for solenoid. the small terminal to the side. do not place any ground wire,s to either terminal....best of luck.

Q:I need a wiring diagram for a 1983 honda rebel, its a 250cc parallel twin, i really need the ignition wiring diagram but i can't seem to find one. If anyone knows the letters (xx250,xx125) then that would help to. Thank you in advance.

Not to be rude, but that bike only has about 4 wires. What do you need to know?

Q:what size of wire should I use for my 1.5hp aircon, 220volt

#12 because it runs for 3 hours or more and if you get a larger one it will be cababile of running it

Q:I recently bought a stereo for my truck. What is a good average gage for a ground wire? Speaker wire? Power wire? Last but not least a speaker control (remote) wire? If it helps, I am running a 760 watt pioneer amp on two 12 inch subs. Thanks

It depends on the size of the amplifier. Recommended wire size should be no less than 10 gauge wire for power and ground. 4 or 8 Gauge power wire you need 4 or 8 gauge ground wire . Speaker wire depends on the speaker. Door speakers should use14-16 gauage speaker wire. Subwoofers should use no less than 12 Gauge speaker wire. Remote wire doesn't need to be big at all use can use 16-18 gauge wire for the installation.

Q:I have a 3 wire source I want to connect it to a switch on/off and then make it 2 wire to the light

If you have black red and white, it could be wired for a three way switch, best to call an electrician as this is too complicated to write the testing procedures. If the wires are black white green more than likely the green is ground. Simple test with power on black to white 110v, black to green 110v, white to green 0v. If this is the case, ground the switch using the green wire to the ground terminal on the switch, whites from the power source is connected to white going to light using a wire nut or other approved method, both blacks are connected to the two brass terminal screws on the switch, it does not matter which terminals you use, just make sure when you are installing the switch back into the work box that off is down. Good luck and if you are in any way unsure call a licensed electrician, they'll only charge a service fee plus materials for a job that small.

Q:I need help hooking a remote wire to my jvc kd-g220.

Just connect the blue-white striped wire of the JVC unit to your switchable power wire. It could be connected to the antenna power wire, but the problem with this that not many units have the ability to sustain the remote power for a long time since the antenna wire wasn't designed to it. You can connect it to the switchable power wire coming from your dash. Is the wire that has 12 v only when you key ignition is to acc or on.

Q:Kind of a confusing question I guess. I want to cut a wire that contains 3 other wires and splice into them then reconnect them. is all I need relatively the same gauge wire or is it potentially different type like some sort of special speaker wire..? Should be one positive one negative and the other some sort of signal for sound. (Microphone to a speaker). All I need is standard copper wire?

i wont even begin to touch on this,leave it alone and call a pro

Q:I have two DVC subs and I know how to wire them down to 1 ohm with the wires coming out of one outlet on the box but I don't know how to wire them down to 1 ohm with wires coming out of both sides of the box. Anyone have a wiring diagram for this?

For okorder /... On the inside of the enclosure, connect both positives and both negatives to the enclosure inside terminal. That makes each side of the enclosure 2 ohms. Mount and screw in the subs. Now, on the outside: 1) Observing polarity, run short jumpers between the terminals (positive to positive, negative to negative) and then connect ONE set of terminals to the amp (again observing polarity) (positive to positive, negative to negative. 2) Run separate wires from each set of terminals to the amp, observing polarity. That makes the final impedance to the amp 1 ohm.
