How to make your home stereo's wiring a little more durable

So this all started at about 6:45am (cause i was board and awake) anyhow I had a LAN party coming up and I was thinking about bringing my home stereo to the party but its kind of problematic with the really flimsy wiring.  So I said (Hey I haz The P0wer of z Ethernet cable!!1!) *slaps self for typing in 1337* .... ok not like that but close. any how to show you what I did and how ....go to the next page! (just a suggestion) XD





yay for sporadic thinking

Step 1 What ye need yo!

Ok so you need the flowing t00ls:

soldering iron (dur)
solder (durdur)
wire cutters/strippers
flat-blade screwdriver
punch-down tool
glue gun (option) 
glue (option)
Knife (option)
pliers (option)

heres the part list:
Five Surface Mount Housing, 2-Port for networking jacks
Six cat5 (or cat5e,cat6) [I used cat 5 cause there old and i had a bunch]

This is a very thought out process and neat too!

This is actually a good way to not only prolong the lofe of your cabling, but also make super easy to remember what line goes to what speaker and easier to connect and disconnect. One tip for you....to make the connections less bulky on the speaker end, you can use Panduit connectors. They are a lot smaller but perform the same function.
