In Reply to: Insulation? Tweeter pic... posted by BS64 on February 26, 2021 at 08:45:35:
Every voice coil consists of a coil of insulated wire. The insulation is VERY thin and VERY important. If the coil overheats from too much current passing OR from any high heat source such as a soldering iron applied to the input terminals, the insulation will melt and adjacent winds of the coil will short circuit to one another. Dead speaker.
You do NOT need three runs of 20 gauge wire to a tweeter. A single piece of 20ga on each terminal is adequate. There is NO advantage whatsoever to adding excess wire to a tweeter, and it is very likely you can damage the tweeter terminals with too much weight hanging off of them or damaging the voice coil as detailed above.
