[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] it broke because it was too short to begin with. the butt splice reduces flexibility and may also reduce travel distance - only time will tell. at least your solution didn't make it any shorter than it was. did you solder the butt splice on? if the lead breaks off at the terminal - it's an easier fix. the issue is, yet again, the end result is shorter than before meaning less excursion capability. detailed solder repair of a tinsel lead at the terminal: [URL="http:////forum/wiring-electrical-installation-help/479065-broken-tinsel-lead.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/wiring-electrical-installation-help/479065-broken-tinsel-lead.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
