Your favorite place to order wire online?
 

Hello everyone, I need to order a few different sizes of wire, 4, 8, 14 and 16 gauge in red and black jackets. I was wondering if you had a favorite place to buy online. Thank you in advance!

Good online places, which my friend has suggested, (i have not used these websites) for speaker wire include monoprice.com and bluejeanscable.com.

Try those and LMK what you think.

What kind of insulation/jacket are you wanting? For THHN and such, just about any electrical distributor will have what you need.

Red and black jacket lol, I am not asking for a whole lot.

THHN = thermo high heat resistant Nylon
Red and black jacket is kind of a vague description..Kinda what Southark was getting at, I believe.
Gas/Oil resistant??
Flexibility??
Single-strand/multiple strand, ...Oxygen free..ect,ect,ect.
More simply stated...What will you be using said wire FOR???

Sorry, that went over my head and I really did not think of all the different jacket materials.
I am looking for wire that will be used for general use of lengthening runs for a bottle heater, various switches, gauges/controller and what nots for a nitrous system. I am not sure where I want to locate some of the items and I would like to have extra wires available if I decide to make some runs to the hatch or from the hatch back to the firewall/center console. THHN sounds like it would be best for the under the hood wiring, no? I hope this clears up my vagueness. Thank you for the help :tup:

Conductor material - not that important for your purposes. I'd go with Copper but Aluminum will work fine.
Strand count - the more strands, the more flexible the wire will be.
Insulation - Needs to be rugged enough so that it doesn't get cut by body/frame parts.

THHN is a general-purpose insulation that can be used just about anywhere on a car. The nylon jacket provides good cut/wear resistance. But there are many other types of insulation that will work just as well.

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. :tiphat:

Thanks for the info! This started me down a spiral of googling and learning about wire insulation. I ended up with a big spool of GXL. :tup:
