Wire Sources

[Tomlin]

Hi guys

Im getting all ready to start rewiring my sim soon and was hoping that someone here could suggests a really good source of wire that I can order, and what gauge. I think Ive been using 18 or 20 gauge.

I found 500' of 18 gauge for about 28.99 including shipping. Is that a good deal?

That is a good deal, but!


OMG!!!!!!!!!!

Tomlin.. Thats Overkill buddy. 18AWG at 12V can sustain like 5-6 Amps...

If you want to do a really neat wiring Job, I would suggest a 22AWG or 24AWG Ribbon (rainbow Wire).

You can get it much Cheaper.

THanks! That's exactly the kind of response I was wanting. I really think that Im using either 20 or 22 currently. I just couldnt remember...

I just purchased 100' of 10 wire colored ribbon from All Electronics for about 15 bucks.
