To cut wire, just insert the wire and slightly close the tool until the wire is securely held in place & can’t move. Then squeeze very firmly. The wire should “snap” lightly and will be cut. Read on to learn more about these plus other options you have. How to splice wire with crimp connectors

Rotate the wire to the other side and apply the solder until all of the wire is fully saturated with solder.Ultimately, though, it’s a lot more convenient to have an “all-in-one” tool like a crimp tool if you’re only doing light work occasionally. Wire cutting tips Some great tools are very affordable that will cut wire very well and make extending or repairing speakerwire much easier: It also leaves behind an adhesive residue if it has been subjected to a lot of heat as often happens in car audio installations. Which speaker wire is positive? Which is negative?

Simply twisting the speaker wire and then wrapping it with tape isn’t enough. In my experience as an installer, over time the 2 speaker wires will begin to separate since they’re not held together. To make matters worse, over time heat can affect electrical tape and it can begin to come off of the wire. To begin, follow the wire cutting & stripping steps from the first section (using crimp connectors). You’ll only need a few tools to do it. Between the two ways, using solder is extremely reliable but more hassle & takes more time. Crimp connectors, however, give great results in only minutes and this approach is what I use most of the time for my home or car installation jobs.While my diagram may be helpful, I’d like to help you understand the pros and cons of each so I can help save you time, hassle, and maybe even a bit of money, too. Tear 2 short pieces of electrical tape. Starting at the insulation and at an angle, tightly wrap the tape until it is fully covered. Incredibly Durable】TPE wire, with excellent flexibility, bending resistance, temperature resistance and UV resistance; it is durable enough and brings you a soft and comfortable sense Insert the wire in the stripper and close it carefully on the insulation. Use enough force to hold the wire in place and slightly pinch the insulation, but not enough to put force on the wire inside. Tip: For best results, once you’re done pull gently on the wire while holding the connector. The wire shouldn’t come out. If it does, you’ve crimped it poorly and will need to do it over again. What should it look like when you correctly extend speaker wire?
