    that's how you attach all of th cables. insert into the hole and lock it in with the set screw. that way you're not using a bunch or crimp terminals on the clamp bolt for all of your little stuff.

    audio cable is great because they use such thin strands. only thing to be careful of is that audio cable typically doesn't have as durable of a shield. no problem, as long as you wrap or protect it in some whay wherever it contacts a sharp edge or has potential to continually rub against a surface.

    Got a few more things checked off the list. I had the ground for my CB antenna touching the lead essentially just negating the whole thing :anonymous:. I guess when I originally installed it I was just f'n up the tuning and didn't need to add a ground cable. Anyway, all fixed now. Only a couple more things to take care of before the trip.
