Speaker Wire

[breezer]

Getting annoyed now, my speaker wire from my Speakers on the back shelf is hanging!

Iv tried using the good old duck tape, but it doesnt work :o It falls off after a few days.

Iv tried an ordinary stapler, but that didnt work.

Any1 any suggestions? I have two ideads but jus wana c how you people have done it! My two ideas are:

1) using tack type things that you would use for phone wire

2) getting black ICE carpet and pinning it to the underside of shelf!

i duck taped the wire to the underneath of the other speaker and then tightened it and ran it under the body after that

Well I used the orignal parcel shelf and stuck some thick mdf on undearneath. I have then used a staple gun to secure the wires.....and it has been like that for about 3months now and I havnt lost a single staple so seems like the best option to me. Although soon I am going to get a stealth shelf so I dont have to worry about where I park my car.

Hi there!

I tried to post this from work earlier, but the sat link went down :-(

Why don't you staple zip/cable ties to the bottom of your parcel shelf (at 90 degrees to the path of your speaker cables). You then put the wires in and tighten up the cable/zip ties and the little sods should be kept in place without you piercing the wires. If you leave the cable ties a bit loose then you'll be able to route other cables through then too at some point in the future.

I knew I'd studied product design for some reason!

Cheers,

Alan
