I'll order some yellow later maybe... it's so cheap!

I'm kind of holding out to see about the rainbow-wire they're coming out with. Has anyone called them yet? I'd be curious to see what the cost of that is and what dimensions it is. It would be very cool to be able to adjust the colors!

Here's my order sheet. I added an extra 4 way splitter also. I think 2 is already 1 too many but I'm getting 3 just in case I add the doors later.

3 EZ-Connection Splitters for EL Wire
EZ-Connection type:4 way splitter (add 1.50)
15 2.2mm Blue-Green Polar Bright El Wire
1 Female 6" Connector
5 Male 6" Connector
3 Heatshrink Tubing 1.5mm
1 12 Volt Constant & Flash Inverter 8-13ft
I would consider getting the 4-8 ft driver ( or get both )..... When I first set mine up, I used the 8-13 ft driver, and although it worked, I noticed that it would flicker sometimes.... Now I have the 0-4ft, and the flicker is gone. There are zero issues with heat ( no heat at all !! ), or brightness.

You should probably get the yellow wire at the same time ( save on shipping ) !?
