The 8 gauge (or 6 gauge) requires a jump-down back to 10 gauge using a junction box, somewhere just before the outlet because the largest wire that will fit in an outlet is 10 gauge. Install one dedicated line for all front end equipment, and one for each amplifier. If you must feed...
Run two wires to the fan motor. Cut the power and ground cables from the fan motor. Remove 1/2" of covering from the positive and negative wires running into the fan motor. Attach one of the new wires to the positive wire and one to the negative cable and solder them together. Protec...
Wiring in one amplifier can be complicated enough, especially when dealing with a factory car stereo. The situation gets more complex when you add multiple amplifiers to the equation. You can wire two amplifiers or multiple amps in one car audio system, but it takes extra planning. The main ...
Join the socket cords to the lamp cord:At the center wire connection housing, join together the three neutral wires (the portion of the cord with faint ridges on the jacket) by twisting the bare ends together and screwing a wire nut over the bare ends. Do the same with the hot wires (...
Solar panel wiring (also known as stringing), and how to wire solar panels together, is a fundamental topic for any solar installer. It’s important to understand how different stringing configurations impact the voltage, current, and power of a solar array so you can select an appropriate inv...
