Q:Just moved into a new house and the basement is already wired for surround sound. The ends are two wires one silver one gold/brass wrapped together with plastic. Looks like they were cut at the ends. How difficult would it be to wore the speakers myself?

If the wire you are referring to is standard speaker wire, then you wire it to your speakers, at one end, and to your receiver, at the other end, the same way that you normally wire up speakers. In other words, always connect the same colour of wire to each positive connection, and the other colour to all of the negative connections.

Q:im installing lights in my car and it says i need a 12v wire. can i use somthing more then a 12v wire? im hooking it right from my battery. what other wires can i use?

If it says 12 volt wire, it just means you need to supply the lights with 12 volts. Depending on how much power the lights pull, will depend on how thick the wire should be. If it is saying to use 12 gauge wire, well, then use some 12 gauge wire.

Q:All household socket have two wires.Plese do not mention grounding, the ground would act as de-facto second wire

You don't need any wires at all. It can be done easily with electromagnetic waves. But since it can be done even more easily with two wires, we prefer the two wire method. One wire would be as good as no wires, so that's just a waste. :-)

Q:what wires are my speaker wires going to and coming from the factory amp and how do i hook them up please help i drive a 96' ford exploder

Chilton's guide in the library may have this information. Also, it is online with my library so you might be able to find this out at home.

Q:Okay I have a question I have an 8 gauge wire kit and it says 350 watts peak. What the difference when there is the same 8 gauge wire that says 800 watts peak does this really matter? Thanks guys

properly, there are transformations in conductivity in wires of a similar gauge, based upon the fabric of which the twine is made and no count if or no longer it quite is multi-strand or good middle. That sounds like an quite huge hollow even even with the shown fact that. To account for that lots variance i could almost ought to think of the decrease one is aluminum or some very decrease priced copper alloy. 8 gauge is distinctly thick twine, after all.

Q:how we can predict the maximum load that stainless steel cable wire can achieved?

Q:i have old wiring for a stove that iam putting in ,a new box but i have only 3 wires 2 of them are white and 1 black how should i connect on a 4 wire receptacle? on the receptacle 1 white 1 green, 4 a ground then it says x then y ???????

The new 4 wire receptacle needs a 4 wire circuit. It will have a white, a green or bare for ground, and a black and red for x and y.

Q:so im doing a custom buggy and i need so different colored wire im looking for a place to get lots of different colored wire for cheap

Quick wire / Saint wire cable company. painless wiring company There are other companies that sell universal harnesses that already have a fuse box with the basic circuits already done, and some blanks to run to whatever accessory you need. It's the easiest thing to do.

Q:What are the advantages of electric tape over electric wire for a horse?Thank you!!

Tape is easier to see. Tape is easier to handle, put up and take down. Tape is easier to repair. Tape does not rust. Yup, tape is better.

Q:What would the wire size be for a 3 phase 4 wire - 480/277V - 400A panelboard. Would it be (3) 600mcm w/ (1) 1/0 ground?

Well not quite: 1. The panelboard is 4 wire therefore the (3) in the description would be (4). The 4th wire is for the neutral and required if you are using the 277. Otherwise the panelboard is a 3 wire board and no 277 2. 600 kcmil copper with 75°C insulation is able to carry 420 A as long as the ambient temperature < 86°F (30°C) and are installed by themselves (not in a raceway/cable tray with other power conductors). If the conductors are aluminum, the temperature is hot, the installation has multiple conductors in the same raceway/cable tray, or the distance is of sufficient length resulting in unacceptable voltage drop, the cable must be derated -- read you must increase the size to 750 kcmil or increase the insulation rating to 90°C The ground conductor should be of sufficient size
