Good point. I also highly recommend using aircraft Tezfel insulated wire. For the average KR it won't add 50 bucks. I had a stereo power wire go up in a car one time and just one breath of the fumes had me almost run off the road. There was hardley even any visible smoke yet. Pulling over and opening whe window is not an easy think in a plane.
