I was told to get 22 awg wires to solder my electric guitar wirings...do you think these are thin and isolated enough for that?

These are pretty standard 22AWG, if you were told correctly, i would hope these would work. I can't comment on your specific application since i have only done audio work with these.

I used 16 gage and my system sounds fine. The thicker the wire is, the better. But I think 16 gage is fine for most applications.

You can use 14 or 16 AWG speaker wire. I used 14 AWG plastic coated wire from Monoprice. Copper wire is best. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?seq=1&format=2&p_id=2791&kpid=2791&CAWELAID=1329459423&CAGPSPN=pla&catargetid=320013720000063196&cadevice=c&gclid=CL7F3MGko8ICFdKEfgodOIkARA

No because they have very small connectors, the thickest cable you can use 12 AWG.

Can't answer your question, but they really should be soldered to be dependable. Find cheaper sets like this one and use just what you need... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp;=mtr&item;=321276224408

If you are trying to melt the wires together without any solder, it won't help. You definitely need to use solder to join them. I would recommend soldering the two wires together and then using heat shrink wrap to cover it or seal it depending on your application. You can always just use electrical tape around it as well. I have used this product for many projects- replacing tv capacitors, to wiring on a motorcycle without any problems. It can definitely be a very handy skill to learn. Youtube is a great resource as well. :) Good luck!

Depends on how many strings you intend to string together. But 16-18 AWG should do it. I used high quality speaker wire from Home Depot.

I believe what he wants to know is what the current carrying capacity of the 'wires' are.. if we know the gauge the wire this can be looked up online I would assume they are stranded wires.. there are different tables depending on weather it is stranded or solid copper wire.

these wires are nowhere near 22 gauge wires. they have 4 strands inside each wire. the outside might be 22ga but the inner wires are much thinner

I assume you mean wires and not actual cables. Electrical solder is fine for bonding wires, but there is a school of thought that solderless terminals are better on a machine that vibrates a lot. Soldering a wire stiffens it and can cause fatigue cracking where the wire can bend right next to the solder joint. I always use heat shrink tubing to support the wire next to a solder joint, preferably the kind with hot melt glue inside. It will work for a while, but be aware. Do not use this kind of tin solder on steel cables like for the brakes and clutch. Silver solder would be the choice with high temperature brazing.

No. If you're technically inclined and willing to take a risk, you could try splicing additional wire into the existing speaker wires, but the wires are very thin (high AWG, I believe around 28 AWG) so be careful.

I do not think the thin wiring these are made with will stand up to very long use for you.

I would say NO these are fine for trimming electronic parts but nothing thicker I tried trim the electrical studs on a battery box for a 9 volt battery they would not cut through the thicker metal and had to purchase another pair so beware trimming thicker things with these they are perfect for electronic projects.

I don't your "standard" wire. I screw 20AWG to bindind posts, bought at department store, about 10ft long, with speakers about 5ft from amplifier. Be consistent with the polarity. Those speakers are not for audio purists anyway, so any sound degradation is practically unnoticable. 18AWG is also good for home, anything thicker, stiffer and more expensive is a waste of money. Don't worry too much about what they prove with their super-expensive test equipment readings

It should work perfectly for that. Make sure you use rosin core (flux core) solder, and keep your tip and the wires very clean.

Yes, in my opinion, it will work, as long as you know how to solder them on. Good luck!

Bare wire is perfect. Just strip it no more than 1/4" and try not to use more than 16 gauge wires.
