[QUOTE="hempy, post: 6351900, member: 571956"] I haven't posted anything in about 3 days, so I have way too much to post at once, so I'll probably be doing it in sections. I think I have about 50. Anyone who wants to check out progress images before posting them, I usually have them in my Photobucket. It was pretty hot all weekend, so I tried to do minimal work outside, so I decided to start working on the wiring. First I started by stripping off the plastic on the crimp connectors I've been using... they look messy and I prefer to heatshrink them myself. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_6876.jpg[/IMG] Without the plastic, they basically line up with the edge of the washer groove. I'm going to run them on the router and cut a 1/4" groove into them so I can have the wire split flush. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_6877.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_6898.jpg[/IMG] Then I started on the pigtails, using some sleeved speaker cable that I had left over from some other projects. I used spade connectors and stripped/heatshrunk all of them too. Once the two spades were isolated, I covered the whole end in clear heatshrink so it can be pulled through the wall more easily, if need be.

I wasn't able to use heatshrink on that end, as there was no room to fit it, but I did want some sort of insulation.
