Is wire wire? I have some old speaker wire laying around...can i use that? And does anyone have a link to a 12v power supply? I dont think i know exactly what to look for
I wouldn't use speaker wire. Use some 18 gauge stranded wire. Don't use solid strand. To hard to bend/move and could break. Plus its not necessary for this application. I used some old alarm grade wire. You can get some at Altex or possibly Home Depot or Lowes. The power adapter is from Altex. Not sure how much it was because it was 1.5 years ago since I bought one last. But I do know it was cheap.

The whole setup. The wire isn't coiled so it looks like a mess :roll I used the whole length of the power adapter and then just added wire to it by soldering on the 18 gauge orange wire. The wire I added is actually larger than the original on the adapter. To connect the LED box to the adapter, I just used Anderson brand connectors. I can't really say where I got those :innocent

The adapter I used.


I would highly recommend going to Altex to get everything. They have the wire, adapter, and heat shrink. They even have solder if you need some too. Altex seems to be the cheapest place in town for heat shrink. Don't ever buy any at Radio Shack. They really stick it to you on their price. ;)
