Crossover components

#1 Post by djlivex »

So I just bought separate components from Parts-Express 3 way Omni 12 Tallboy crossover, wanted to save money and do it myself. Any way I bought a copper 16 gauge wire from Michaels Craft store. Can I use this instead of speaker wire to connect components on the crossover board, then 18 gauge speaker wire to speaker drivers? Thanks :idea:

What type of wire is it? Stranded copper looking stuff? Can you post a picture of it with an end stripped?

Just routing around to all the crossover components? I don't see a problem with that.
