I had to extend some speaker wires, so i used a second speaker cord and wrapped it to the one out the speaker, but the exposed section doesnt look to safe, and it runs behind my bed so i`m a little unsure about it being uncovered. Can i use duct tape just to cover the open wires? or is electrical tape NEEDED? It is plugged into the wall, not battery powered.
Double shrink tube is best.
ALWAYS use electrical tape where electricity is concerned, the clue is in the name. It was designed to work with a current, Duct tape will eventually catch fire etc.

electrical tape is the best,it gives a better shield, as there is still current running through the wire.
