[QUOTE="mtech2, post: 342569, member: 551121"] All those recommendations will add to the performance of the electrical connections. Sanding of the wires really doesn't do a whole lot for increasing SA (a little maybe)....the main benefit of doing this is simply to "clean" the wires, along with the brake cleaner. Personally there is some better stuff out there to clean, condtion and protect your wiring....I use Pro Gold....but brake clean will work as a cleaning agent. Also make sure, after you have cleaned your connection, not to handle them since the oil on your hands is enough to get them "dirty" again. Spraying brake clean on wires will not prevent corrosion.....oxidation is the main cause of erosion and the only way to keep something from oxidizing is to keep it away from oxygen!! So a sealer of some sort would be your best bet....I use ProGold for this, too. Grounding RCA's....Never really had a need to do it, if the rest of your system is grounded properly you shouldn't have a problem. The EE [/QUOTE]
