I pretty much stick to Draper, I know my spots out there, and its so close to my house its not worth it for me to go all the way out to T-Bird. I will shoot you a PM if we head that way. Be sure to post pics of your tower and speaker install. We all love to see new setups.

I would not advise that, that insert holds a lot of force, I would not want to do anything to it that may compromise the strength. Everyone I have talked to has just drilled holes above and below the joint and had the wires exposed for those few inches. If you really wanna make it look sick go to the auto parts store and get some braided steel fuel line dress up kit.


thats the way my pro 80s are done with a factory tower

another thing your going to want to pick up are rubber grommets. These are cheap and can be found at a hardware store. You dont want to have any raw metal around the wires.

1. a rough edge could potentially cut the wire's insulation, resulting in a short.
2. water + raw metal + air = RUST

I Had to run wiring for my tower cans in my 92malibu sunsetter w/ the Titan Tower and i used those. Haven't had any problems.
