By jjohnson

Do you have a car audiophile in your life? Someone who is looking to have the best stereo experience in their car? These friends and family members are often very focused on their hobby which can make selecting an appropriate gift somewhat easier. But they are also very picky in the brand and style of accessories like stereos and speakers. A safer choice is an accessory they need, but matches up with all makes and models of car audio things.

Here is a great list of some gifts that will be much appreciated by the car audiophile.

This 14 gauge wire is for the car speaker amplifier, but it also works for trailer harnesses. There is 15 feet of this in both black and red, which will match with 12 volt DC. This will also work for home theater, car turn signals and low voltage LED lights.

We will probably need to ask a few questions just to know what gauge of wire might work best.  Chances are our audiophile will love to talk about the details of their hobby.  Even without that conversation, since these wire assortments serve many other useful purposes they are likely to please no matter which one we choose. Picking items that support the hobby of our friend or family member will be a very thoughtful and appreciated gift.
