Gym Project: Preparing the Speaker Wire

The home gym's TV is hung. The shelf for the blu ray and surround sound system is hung. All the speaker wire is run. Now it is time to prepare the speaker wire.

First is to cut down the middle and separate the wires.

Next is to strip back the plastic coating.

The speakers all use spring clip terminals.

What I like to do when spring clips are involved is to twist the wire and then apply a little solder with a soldering iron. This will strengthen and bond the end of the speaker wire.

With that done, we are ready to hang some speakers!
