[QUOTE="Trender372, post: 2919532, member: 573166"] Here is (more than likely) a rather n00bish question so please forgive me. My vehicle came with wire already ran for the mids and highs from a previous install. New wire was ran because it had the mach 460 sound system. As I have taken the door's apart, etc, I have noticed that whomever ran the wire must have been short on the amount of wire. All wire ran is the same brand and size, but every 5-6feet there is a solder connection. The connections themselves look good and they were taped up thoroughly. Now to my question/s. What type of difference (if any) will I notice running fresh wire without the solder connections and what are the benefits? Also, this is the wiring he used..

As you can see, its normally house wiring from monster cable. I'm not sure how much performance (if any) that would make switching to something normally made for the car environment. Thanks for any help, as I gotta learn somewhere [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
