Sounds like a sweet project, just remember every wire is a potential saboteur. Start by sketching a diagram on paper, label each strand with a distinct code—red for power, blue for ground, green for data, whatever—then double‑check the continuity with my old multimeter before you even touch the amp. Keep the runs as straight as possible, avoid sharp bends that could nick the insulation, and use a dedicated cable tray or a braided sleeve to keep them together and isolated. If you want to avoid any chance of a short, wrap a small ferrule or a heat‑shrink tube around any exposed terminations before connecting. And, of course, test the entire loop with a continuity check and a voltage test at low levels before cranking up the mix. That way you’ll keep the panel and amp safe and the music flowing smoothly.
