Other than buying the Arcade book, you can download a ton of basic wiring information online. To be on the safe side, go to Ultimarc and buy the wiring kit they sell as it comes with disconnects and a decent crimper.

As always, be careful and don't be afraid to ask questions! This board is stellar!

Hey guys, thanks for the info and pict!  So I assume that little disconnect fits just snugly on the little connectors on the controls? Is that correct? If so it should be fairly straightforward...

I found a large amount of old speaker wire: pict:

from what I've read already in the forums from searching this wire should work just fine.... opinions?

Bgnome:
is it solid wire?  if so, that may be difficult to crimp and maneuver in your cab.  otherwise, just make sure that the disconnects you get match the guage of wire you have.
currygoat11:
no it's not solid, it's made up of the very thin wires all together.... I'm considering either this or utilizing CAT5 cable ripped into individuals.... thanks!!

That's the tool you need.  You might find a better price elsewhere.  I noticed the other day Crutchfield has these for $2.99, not sure of shipping, though.
