wire

A wire is a flexible, round, bar of metal. wires are commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Wire gauges come in various standard sizes, as expressed in terms of a gauge number or cross-sectional area.
Wires are used to bear mechanical loads, often in the form of wire rope. In electricity and telecommunications signals, a "wire" can refer to an electrical cable, which can contain a "solid core" of a single wire or separate strands in stranded or braided forms.
Usually cylindrical in geometry, wire can also be made in square, hexagonal, flattened rectangular, or other cross-sections, either for decorative purposes, or for technical purposes such as high-efficiency voice coils in loudspeakers. Edge-wound coil springs, such as the Slinky toy, are made of special flattened wire.

    Wiring Green and brown wire going up the roll bar

    Misc Bluetooth Media Amp/Receiver?

    Has anyone found a media player/amp that you could mount behind the dash, and is ONLY controlled through your phone? No buttons, No display, No single din. Just a small box that powers your speakers, and connects to your phone. Would be nice to have something that isn't a target for thieves. Thanks!
