I'm planning on making some jumpers with some Blue Jeans 10 AWG and spades. Has anyone had any problems with the malleability of this wire or more specifically, the jacket? Just curious...:confused:
I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I used the same wire for jumpers and just removed the wire from the jacket. (so instead of one 4" piece of wire in a white jacket, I had 2 4" pieces of wire one in red and one in black.)

    i'm debating whether to make the jumpers w/ nannners or spades...
    (while obviously using the opposite for the speaker connection)
    any votes for either method?
