Heat Shrink & Braided Sleeving for Car Audio Wiring

Protect and organize your cables with our heat shrink and braided sleeving for car audio installations. Ideal for power cables, speaker cables, wiring harnesses, connectors, and car audio installation finishing.

CAR WIRING PROTECTION

Protect and tidy up your electrical installation

Heat shrink sleeving and braided sleeving help protect, bundle, and organize the cables in a car audio installation. They are particularly useful around terminals, connections, power cables, speaker cables and wiring harnesses.

Heat Shrink or Braided Sleeving?

These two types of sleeving have complementary functions in an electrical or car audio installation.

Heat Shrink Sleeving

Heat shrink sleeving shrinks when exposed to heat to fit the shape of the cable or connection. It is particularly useful for creating a clean finish around a terminal, connection, or cable end.

Nylon Braided Sleeving

Braided sleeving helps bundle several cables and improve their mechanical protection as well as the appearance of the harness. It is particularly useful for creating a clean and professional car audio installation.

2:1 HEAT SHRINK SLEEVING

A Clean Finish Around Cables and Terminals

Several heat shrink sleeves in this collection use a 2:1 shrink ratio. They are available in different sizes and colors to adapt the finish to the cables, terminals, and connections in your car audio installation.

AVAILABLE SIZES

Sleeving for Small and Large Cables

Choose the size based on the outside diameter of your cable, terminal, or harness to be protected.

6.4 mm Heat Shrink
10 mm Heat Shrink
19 mm Large Diameter
6–12 mm Braided Sleeving
12–25 mm Braided Sleeving
CAR AUDIO APPLICATIONS

Power Cables, Speaker Cables & Harnesses

Amplifier Power Cable

Suitable sleeving helps improve the finish of power cables and large-gauge connections used with amplifiers, distribution blocks, and batteries.

Speaker Cable

Sleeving can also be used to organize speaker cables, subwoofers, and various audio harnesses for a cleaner installation.

Terminal Protection

Heat shrink sleeving is particularly useful for covering the junction between a crimped terminal and its cable, while improving the finish and insulation of the connection.

Harness Organization

Braided sleeving helps bundle several conductors into a single clean and organized harness in the trunk, under trim panels, or around car audio equipment.

CUSTOMIZED FINISH

Black, Red, Blue, White & Two-Tone

In addition to protecting the wiring, sleeving helps enhance the appearance of an installation. The collection includes black, red, blue, and white options, as well as several two-tone finishes to identify or customize the different circuits in your car audio system.

CABLE SLEEVING GUIDE

What size sleeving should I choose?

Measure the outside diameter of the cable or harness before purchasing. For heat shrink sleeving, you must also check the diameter before shrinking and the shrink ratio. For braided sleeving, check the accepted diameter range.

✓ Diameter — measure the cable
✓ Use — cable or harness
✓ Type — heat shrink or braided
✓ Shrink — check the ratio
✓ Length — required quantity
✓ Color — installation finish
Heat shrink and braided sleeving do not serve exactly the same purpose.

Heat shrink is particularly suited for ends, terminals, and connections. Braided sleeving is intended more for protecting and bundling a length of cable or a harness. Both can be used together to achieve a particularly clean finish.

CAR AUDIO INSTALLATION

A clean finish down to the last detail

A successful car audio installation does not depend solely on amplifiers and speakers. Organizing, protecting and finishing the wiring also makes the installation, maintenance, and future modifications of the system easier.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ – Heat Shrink & Braided Sleeving

What is heat shrink sleeving used for?

It shrinks when exposed to heat to fit a cable or connection. It is particularly used to insulate and create a clean finish around terminals and electrical connections.

What is braided cable sleeving used for?

It helps bundle, protect, and organize one or more cables while giving the harness a cleaner finish.

What does 2:1 heat shrink sleeving mean?

The 2:1 ratio indicates that a sleeve can reduce its diameter to approximately half its initial diameter when the specified shrinking conditions are met.

What size heat shrink sleeving should I choose?

The sleeve must be able to fit over the cable or terminal before shrinking, and then contract sufficiently to properly secure the connection.

What sleeving should I use for an amplifier cable?

It depends on the outside diameter of the cable and its use. Heat shrink can be used around terminals, while braided sleeving can protect a longer length of cable.

Can braided sleeving be used on several cables?

Yes. That is precisely one of its main benefits: to bundle several conductors into a single clean and organized harness, provided you choose the correct diameter.

How do you heat heat shrink sleeving?

Use a suitable tool that allows you to heat the sleeve gradually and evenly without damaging the cable insulation or surrounding components.

Can braided and heat shrink sleeving be combined?

Yes. Braided sleeving can protect the harness while heat shrink provides a clean finish at the ends.
