How to fix a speaker cable.....

[Visage]

(Dons: I know this is a bout speaker cable, but its more of a general wirting question, so i think GD is the best place for it.....)

ANyways, I'm redecorating the study at the moment, and my darling wife decided she'd help by chopping up the carpet witha stanley knife to make it easier to get rid of.

Very sharp knife + very thin carpet + speaker cables running underneath.....you get the idea.

So ive got a cut cable, with a speaker at one end and an RCA plug at the other.

I could strip some insulation off the cut ends and splice them together with some insulation tape etc, but is there a better way?

My original thought was to replace the cable completely, but the cable goes into the speaker, which is a moulded all-in-one construction...

Any thoughts?

i'd heat shrink the 2 individual bits of cable then heatshrink the lot...but that's because i'm a bit anal about that kind of thing


*wonders how the word "anal" will be used against him later*

HAHAHAHA BUTTSECX

Seriously though, thanks for the advice guys.

My thoughts - it can't be that fantastic a setup if it a moulded cable going into the speaker.

As it's not proper hi-fi, and I bet the cable is cheap and thin anyway, just twist and tape - you won't notice.

I bought them from OcUk.....i'll go to someone better next time
