I need some suggestions for some good quality audio wiring. Not top of the line anything, I'm not running that much power or anything, but just good full copper wire. Who do you use and where do you usually get it?
I did a complete sound system in my truck a little over a year ago. Sound deadener throughout, DD touchscreen, 4 channel amp running the door speakers, mono amp for the subs, two 10s, stock alternator and an optima red top (which I think is getting a tad weak so that's not helping) and all new wiring throughout. I found this place online (either on ebay or amazon, don't remember where I actually bought it from) called Rockville that had decently priced stuff so I went with their wiring.
Fast forward to about a month ago, my passenger front speaker is intermittently going out and every once in a while if the truck is on accessory or at idle and I'm rolling up the windows I'll get a thud through my speakers. Thought the ground was loose so I pulled the panel and the ground wire just broke off from the connector. I start stripping the wire and it's completely FULL of white corrosion. I cut it back far enough to get past that, throw the speaker back in and everything works fine again. I looked at my power wire under the hood and the whole thing all the way back to the firewall is full of it as well. You can hear it crunching and rolling around in there when you move the wire. So I have to redo the ENTIRE thing
Today it started thudding through the speakers all the time, even at like 3k rpms and not touching the windows. So I pulled the fuse, no mas tunes for me. Gonna email Rockville and complain but doubt that'll get me anywhere.
