Mdvic Neutral Newbie June 27, 2006 Share June 27, 2006 (edited) Hey Bro , Tks man....hahahaha kept me pondering the "C&G"......... Any specfic size for this brand or only one size? Ha !!! the tricky part,,, Q1.When i ask the shop to wire my speakers, do i ask him to change all the stock wire, right to the tip of the HU, or join it from the present stock wire? Q2.And for the Speaker and Tweeter wire, do I ask him to cut it very short so as the NEW Belden wire can join from there, like maybe leave about 10cm in length to join. Q3. Or do i ask him to cut off everything and solder right at the brackets of the Tweeter and Speakers??? can you pls help me in this area Tks.....

Headshok 1st Gear June 27, 2006 Share June 27, 2006 belden, ask bro KW lah. when u go installer, just tell them change all ur cables to the one u have, including the one on ur tweet and spkr basically, they will charge u quite a bit, so make sure they do "option 3" of wat u just said, rip out everything and soder on the new cables Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwongwing Neutral Newbie June 27, 2006 Share June 27, 2006 First off - whatever cables you use, it is only as good as the weakest link - so presumably you are changing to a cable which is better than your current set-up so therefore the logical choice is to "chop" at the source and replace everything w/ connections soldered where possible. Take care when soldering to the speaker terminals, else run the risk of burning the voice coil. So Q2 & 3 answered. As for your Q1 - presumably the speaker wire direct to your HU is running your rear speakers. Unless you are going to have very critical listeners sitting in your back seats I would suggest that you just leave your current set-up. I may have some spare runs of Belden RCAs if you are interested. But note that Belden, and other brands have a wide range of cables, so cannot generalize for any brand. FYI, Sarong also uses Belden cables in his set-up. As for Kermit, tsk tsk, advising people to not change cable then he himself go spend a BOMB on his RCA However, what Kermit says is correct in the sense that one should always concentrate on a good proper set-up first, should not just blow your budget just on cables alone although having resonably good cabling is important. As a guide I would always advise that 10 - 15% of the budget be allocated for cabling. For ICE other than just the HU, speakers, etc. do not forget that there are also many other factors that are also important, like: - power supply i.e. power cabling, distribution boxes, caps, fuses - sound-proofing, for the doors, panels, boot, firewall, etc. - installation and positioning especially of the speakers Etc.

Kwongwing Neutral Newbie June 28, 2006 Share June 28, 2006 I am the one with the Toyota Estima - I also just went full Active liao - another round of headaches Anyway, basically what I mean to say is that if want to change cables, change all, don't just change halfway. Else, the old cable being the "bottleneck" would still remain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness Neutral Newbie June 28, 2006 Share June 28, 2006 (edited) Hi there can help me with something...is this the correct way to wire up a 2 way active front with rear speakers powered using the HU???

Darkness Neutral Newbie June 28, 2006 Share June 28, 2006 haha looks like my countless nites surfing MCF ICE section has not gone to waste after all hee hee okie 1 more ... if say i get another amp to power the rear then i use a new rca to go to the new amp. and then from the amp use speaker cable to the speakers rite? Rear Speakers ----(speaker cable x 2)----- AMP -------(RCA)---------- HU also if i wire up as shown in the above diagram will i still be able to: 1)control the sub vol from the HU 2)fade left and right 3)fade front and back thanks man sorry for being such a bore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
