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 2 audiobahn 12s and an adiobahn amp in my 2000 malibu...1. the thin blue wire that comes from the amp to the stereo is connected to an orange wire behing the (stock) stero, and when i turn off the car the amp stays on. does anyone know which wire to connect the blue wire to, so the amp turns off with my radio or when i turn off the key.2. only one of my 12s is hitting, i think ther might be a wire connected wrong behind the stero. since i have a stock stereo and i have a converter hooked up, because it had no rca inputs on it. its not the speaker or the rca wire itself, because when i connect it with a y cable to the amp one or the other will work...i would appreciate it if someone could help.

you have the amp connected to a hot all times wire, you need to switch it to a hot with ignition wire so amp will power down with key off, most of the time red is always hot and yellow is switched, orange is dimmer usually, blue or blue and white is usally the amp signal wire, try changing it to hook it up to the power ant out from your head unit if you have a power ant. or use the cd changer input if your head unit has it, usally blue as well.

Q:remote 2 wires for power black - white also 3 wires to goto fan/light ? white - black - red

wire it black to black white to white. original wiring could be wrong. please better description. for light kit red or blue should connect to that. dont forget grounding wire even though white wire polarizes

Q:for standard electric wiring, do I cut the white wire or the black wire to not get shocked?

Firstly, the power should be turned off, and secondly, you could get shocked from the active and the neutral. If you break a neutral that has current flowing through it then touch the neutral, you will complete the circuit and get shocked. Just get an electrician, it's cheaper than hospital fees.

Q:I need to get some wire to hook my capacitor to my amp and every wire I see says that it's power/ground cable wire. Does this mean it's power wire? Or ground wire? Or does it mean you can use it for both?

to hookup a capacitor you need both power and ground wire, make sure the cables are thick before you put your power cable to the amp it needs to go to + positive side of capacitor and then one cable from the same side to + of amp and for the - negative side you just ground it to the body

Q:When it is time to replace wiring in a building?

When the demand for power increases. They're many form of wiring. Knob and tube, brown rag wire( no neutral) BX and Romex style. All depends on your needs. Knob and tube is extremely antiquated and can be dangerous. You could also consult an electrical company and have them go over your house with you and see what they say. Most companies can give you an estimate or diagnosis on the electric in your home for free

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.

Q:I have an old sewing machine without a plug that needs wiring up but it doesn't have the modern wire colours. There's one red wire and one yellow. Does anyone know how to do this?Thanks =]

The red one is the earth wire so should go in the right part by the fuse and the yellow one is neutrol so goes in the top middle bit :) Hope that helps
