[QUOTE="02WS6, post: 8690914, member: 678581"] Years ago I was testing out a couple of amps for a friend in the back of my car and I dropped the main power wire onto bare metal in the hatch of my car. Sparked, blew up an ANL and scared the **** out of me. Nowadays if the main batt isn't disconnected (which it is now 100% of the time for me) I just recommend insulating to be on the safe side. While the likelihood of a shock is ridiculously low I personally don't mess around with the Amperage coming out of those wires. JMHO though. Edited to add: Speaker wire definitely not - Power wire though? IDK I've seen the power of electricity and I know the Amps going through that wire, maybe I'm a pansy but I'd rather be safe than sorry. [/QUOTE]
