How do you make connections? Solder two holes together, or run two (etc.) wires thru same hole, or something else (pls specify)? Tnx.

These boards are small enough that bridging the pads with solder works pretty well if you put the components close together. For things with leads, leds, resistors, etc. using part of the lead as a trace works really well. This page has some good examples of both methods: http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Tutorials/SolderingAPerfBoard

You can use the universal connectors to connect the wires (it is faster than soldering them). However I personally like to solder them and use shrink tubs to protect soldered joints. I also like to do as much of the wire connections on my work bench using alligator clips to hold wires when soldering them (always tin the wires prior to solder in them together). Where ever possible do soldering without any receiver or amp connected. Its always better to solder wires to insure a good wire connections. Either way take your time to insure good connections. Hope this helps Good luck Dave Dave

Sorry for the delay, camping for the last week with no service of any kind, it was great! I use copper wire ends sized for the studs on the back of the switch, soldered is the best way to go, but if you have a good crimp tool you should get a lasting connection. Coat the connections with a good dielectric grease to help prevent corrosion.

You can cut them between the 4 copper looking circles only. They are ever 3 diods. These are the conecting points and you will nee the special connections. It has been said you can solder them but I perfer the connectors.

I still have that ridiculous unit in my desk, still trying to figure what type of wire to connect to those fine pins. GOOD LUCK.

While we've not had the occasion to do this, it shouldn't be a problem. The wires connect by just pushing into the unit and plugging the unit in. If you have the wiring at the second location, you should be good to go.

SK7's answer is very good. Also be sure there is ample bare copper wire inside the wire nuts (to make good contact wire to wire) and that they are screwed tight.

okaydoky.......the wires you need are what is called RCA on both ends i/e no connectors....[a] how many wires do you need ? [b] how long? std 20'+ // 40'+.........tkx...g.scott

I'm pretty sure, though i'm not a professional installer or anything. If the space below is big enough, but not too big, i think the hardest problem will be making an adapter to fork the cables to get both sets of wires plugged in.

you can go to any hardware store and pick up wire end connectors , they have to be slim though. I would recommend that you take the unit with you. You will need a solder gun also.

Bob, can you tell me a little bit about what components you are connecting and what you are trying to accomplish?

Hook mine just like the diagram shows works great, you must have a defect pair. Try to hook just one pair and make sure that you don't ground the other leads.

The Instructions are a little confusing, I had to just go by what each wire does: I used Conventional Diagram! I also Double checked connections On the internet utilizing how my old one was connected & tagged the wires with the corresponding letters shown on the wiring diagram? I don't know if I have confused you more O actually helped you? Good Luck! =O)

No. Watch a few youtube videos. If you know how to solder it isn't too complicated.

Honestly it would be better to just buy a splitter and plug it in, instead of messing with the wiring. I'm sure if you have the ability to do it, then by all means do it. Personally, buying a splitter would be easier and safer

Just follow the instructions that came in the box, but the connectors don't fit flush on the bottom layer squares. The two bottom holes go on the wires leaving the two top holes of the connector above the square. Thats where you can attach the next layer of the squares. Honestly i have to refer to the instructions each time i make them so i would hold on to them as long as possible or download another set, which they should be online or there should be a tutorial on youtube. Just beware you can pinch your fingers pretty awful in them.

As the others have said you can definitely solder directly to the solder pads on the strips, and if it seems difficult to get a good connection remember flux is your friend.
