ok, sussed the cable! the green and copper coloures strands are all coated, once the strands are separated into their respective colour, the coasting needs scraping off, i've done it with a blade and sandpaper, either way works but it's a bit time consuming! minimal loss over 3ft of cable so seems fine.

i might experiment with different ways of removing the coating, must be a quicker way! flame doesn't work, just makes em black and i still need to then clean them!

i'll leave it on the sub but won't bother with iton anything else.

the full installation will have to wait now as the empef won't fit in the hole!! i'll make another facia at some point so it will slide in. would rather do it proper when time allows than bodge it now!
