Connecting your Electrodes to your Receiver

To connect the two copper electrodes described in my first post on electrodes to your receiver, you will need speaker wire and electrical tape. In my opinion, the cheapest place to buy speaker wire is at an online vendor such as newegg.com or frys.com. However, Best Buy has pretty decent prices. I reccomend that you spend the extra few dollars and spring for monster cable. You want some pretty thick cable will a good amount of insulation, but this is completely up to you. I personally use Monster XPMS MKII, which is around $1/foot, unless you buy 100 feet for around $50 online at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882155444&cm_re=speaker_wire-_-82-155-444-_-Product . The cheapest place that I have found to buy electric tape is Wal Mart. They have a pretty big role for $0.97. You will need to be able to strip speaker wire to do this, so you will also need strippers, or mad skills with a knife. You want to cut lengths of wire that are about as far as it is from the back of your receiver to where you will be sitting/standing while using it plus about 3 feet. You should strip one side of the cut length of cable back about 1/2" to connect to the receiver, and you will want to strip back about 1.5" on the end that is going to connect to the electrode. It needs to be able to wrap around the electrode. To connect the base electrode, you should bend the end in half, then put half of it on the inside of the pipe, and half of it on the outside. The end should be inside, and the side that goes to the receiver should be on the outside. To secure it, cut a piece of electrical tape the entire length of the stripped part of the wire. The tape should be placed at least 1/4" past the end of the wire on the inside of the pipe, and overlap on both sides of the wire evenly, the wrap it around to the outside and continue to make sure that the stripped wire is in the middle of the tape, being covered, so that your penis cannot come into direct contact with the wire. Once this is finished, you have the trickiest part. You need to wrap electrical tape around both sides of the copper pipe on the end. This is tricky, but the goal is to make it so that electrical tape is evenly lapped over both end parts of the pipe, with half the width of the tape on the inside, and half on the outside. After this is done, wrap around the inside of the pipe. Meaning, go all the way around on the inside with the full width of the tape, going to the very edge of the pipe on both ends, and securing the previously placed stips of tape on the inside. The last step is to Wrap around on the outside. The side without the cable running to the receiver only needs one wrap around on the outside, again all the way to the edge securing the strip that is half and half. The side witht he cable, you should wrap around the outside three times. All of these wraps should be tight as they are not intended to come off (if done properly). To connec the electrode for the head of the penis is much simpler. You just fold the stripped wire over such that on the inside, it goes up until it hits the part where the coupler gets smaller, and then the rest should be pressed flush on the ouside. Cut a strip of tape the length of the strip, and cover the wire long ways the same way you did on the base elctrode. Then wrap three times tightly around the bottom edge on the outside. Now, connect these to the receiver, and follow the steps in the reciever configuration post.
