Any SS amp will sound like a tube amp with an extra 1Ω between the source and the load! My Fulton Brown #12 AU/CU needs the REDS! They are desktop speakers and hardwired from Klipsch that way.

I have only used then on solid copper wire that was 16 ga or larger. Yes. Stranded wire will work with wire nuts just fine but remember to leave a little more stripped than you would with solid because it will twist up under the wire nut more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 As an aside, it was the connection by wire nut which hid a short between small gauge wire from wall thermostat to control box. This enabled me to have a/c again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not for the audio system. Well the first thing that needs to be done is cut all of those tie wraps/zip ties and carefully separate the wires so they are not touching each other. This is a common novice mistake made by many airplane/avionics designers and manufacturers just to make things look good for unknowledgeable consumers of aircraft. Obviously red tape is the least preferable color to tape wire in bundles as well.
