As Kentish people are the mostist cleverist

[T123VOR]

Since moving to Kent from Essex and realising you are all far more clevererererer

Who knows how to get some better speaker cable up, along and through the door grommet of my newage? Awkward and tight would be a big understatement- I'm tempted to stab through both grommets and seal with silicon!

 

Any ideas received with gratitude as always[]

I never bothered in the end Trevor because as you say it's a bit awkward [], just made use of the standard speaker cable in the end

[prodrive tony]

I always prefer a bit of lube!!

[T123VOR]

I thought that Ian(and my still have to)- but if you're spending £100 on speakers you should really use better cable surely? or you lose alot of the quality  cos you have cheapo cabling

Trev

unless your adding some serious sounds the standard cable will be ok

[Y] its only when you run high end componets with over 200 watts RMS

you have to change the cable due to heat []

As for threading it through the rubbers you need to pull the door pin

to allow the door to open fully or take the door off its hinges and

then you can thread in a straight line []

Hope this helps

Actually thought about taking the doors off...then got scared[:'(]

I think my speakers are only 90W RMS anyway

In theory you should change the cable for better but i wonder how many people would actually hear the difference especially in a noisy car

[T123VOR]

Yes thats true I suppose.

Im going to run the fronts of an amp to get more out of them so just thought better cable - however it does seem like a lot of work/tears/grief/colourful language for a little return.

So shall i just snip the speaker wires behind the HU and run a length from the amp and connect them up instead? Would be a lot easier in that case.

trevor just use the cable already in the doors m8.

i had components in front runnung off amp under passenger seat. just buy some dynamat for around the speakers.

job done.

[baser999]

........shouldn't have such cheap speakers lol

[markie]

Yes and i'm the cleverest of them all[Y][]

For routing wiring like that I normally use a length of net curtain wire lubricated with washing up liquid. Pass it through and tie the end-use wire to the end and pull it back.

Its flexible enough to go round corners but strong enough end-on to push through tight spaces. I used it to run the LCD screen wiring and plugs for the DVD player up through my seats, for example.

Didn't do my huuge front focals though, I had the ICE fitted for me, so Im probably running standard wiring! [:S]

[T123VOR]

I shall lube up and try and poke it through- there are 2 bends and it is tighter than Tighty McTight the Mayor of Tight Town.

Oddly though i dont have those white net curtain pole/bendy things like my Mum had- I'll ask the Old lady next door- then blow her face off with some of my  UK Speed Garage HipHop Urban Ragga Jazz Symphonies- maybe some Chaka Khan or Supertramp

- if it fails- i'll go standard cables... and pop on an Audio book for the old girl- something about knitting maybe

[]Fingers crossed

Trevor

 

 

 

[prodrive tony]

[T123VOR]
