Good wire connections are very important for best sound and long-term reliability. Here are two methods:

Professional Tip

Crimp Connections

Purchase crimp connectors and crimping tool. Connectors are color coded. This Jensen radio uses BLUE connectors (14-16 gauge wire).

Splice

1.Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires.

2.Wrap wires together.

3.Fold wires over.

4.Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.

1.Strip 1/4 inch (6mm) of insulation from both wires.

2.Insert into connector.

3.Crimp tightly.

You can make permanent splices (using butt connectors) or select connectors that can be removed and reinstalled.

Solder

Solder is the best way to connect wires, but it takes skill and practice. Splice the wires (as shown above). Before taping, heat the wires (not the solder). When the wires are warm enough, touch the solder to the splice. The solder will flow over the wires. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.
