I had thought the magnets might add some noise to the speaker wire inside. Perhaps they are magnetically shielded somewhat. Anyway, I think I am going to go with this wire, cheap, and, I can color it properly: http://www.apexjr.com/wire.html Top one, mil-spec. I am also thinking of using the Crown XLS 1000 since it doesn't have the fan noise of previous versions. Read lots of good and bad things vs other brands/models, and, the good seems to outweigh it to me. Found it for $250 shipped, new. Seems like a decent price. I'll be sure and seal any spots I find. The taking apart wasn't bad at all. When I got to your step that said I can remove either the sub, or, the control panel, I chose the control panel, but, there is no possible way my arm fit into the hole to reach that far! So, sub turned out to much not so bad as well. I got the caulking cord as you recommended.

Also, will it matter on the sub which is positive and negative now? So, do I need to mark the connectors on the outside of the KSP-400's? If so, is the larger connector on the sub positive, and the smaller negative? For wiring inside the box, do I need some sort of shielding wiring, or, is it largely irrelevant since there is no longer any electrical inside? Not sure if the subs themselves can interfere with the signal.

So, i have a newbie question here. I am doing this same thing, but, don't know the answer to this. So, I have an external amplifier driving the pair of KSP-400 speakers. The amplifier is hooked to my sub output on my home theater receiver. So, when not using the system, it is off. When I turn it on, say I find an amplifier with a locked on button. So, home theater receiver comes on, and, triggers the amplifier driving the subs to come on, maybe via some sort of trigger the amp might support, or, maybe via a power sequencing sort of device. Won't there be an enormous thump on the subs, since, I have to leave the volume level somewhat high on the amplifier ti put out the required power? I want to make this as automatic as possible. How to avoid that if so?
