Connections

Good wire connections are very important for
best sound and long-term reliability. Here are
two methods:
Splice
1. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from
both wires.
2. Wrap wires together.
3. Fold wires over.
4. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.

Solder
Solder is the best way to connect wires, but it
takes skill and practice. Splice the wires (as
shown above). Before taping, heat the wires
(not the solder). When the wires are warm
enough, touch the solder to the splice. The
solder will flow over the wires. Stretch electrical
tape tightly over splice.

tool. Connectors are color coded. This
Jensen radio uses BLUE connectors (14-16
gauge wire).
1. Strip 1/4 inch (6mm) of insulation from
both wires.

You can make permanent splices (using
butt connectors) or select connectors that
can be removed and reinstalled.
