catmag 336 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Okay, one of the little darlings has chewed through the wire from my stereo to it's speakers. If I strip back the outer coating, twist the copper wire together and bind it up with masking tape will it be okay or am in danger of blowing myself or the stereo up? I will of course unplug it first - I'm not actually a blonde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35471 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I don't think speaker wires are live, are they? Should be fine, and it'll probably work. You need to remove their teeth with pliers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2319 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Okay, one of the little darlings has chewed through the wire from my stereo to it's speakers. If I strip back the outer coating, twist the copper wire together and bind it up with masking tape will it be okay or am in danger of blowing myself or the stereo up? I will of course unplug it first - I'm not actually a blonde Cowgirl tbh The correct method is to bind the two together, apply some solder then cover the join with electrical tape. Now go away and do it properly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 31 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Actually, the correct way according to the new regs is to get a qualified electrician Load of bollocks, like Im gonna pay £100 for someone to stick a new poxy light fitting up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that got to do with speaker cables? Bastid cat's chewed through another speaker cable, right best call a sparky to sort me out with a new light fitting.

Invicta_Toon 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I reckon a decent speaker current to the gums of a cat could stop its heart and it is best to replace the whole thing, you're sound will be dodge from now on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
