I am doing mods to my sterio and can you touch the wires leading into a subwoofer while they are hot?  I need to try a few things before I put the new one in, and I want to try some things.  Its watage is 120W.
Just shoot yourself and save me the trouble.

It is too much work to turn it off because the system has to warm up for about a miniute when it is turned off

That depends on several things, like wattage, conductivity, and the level of grounding that you have.

Hey MPAA, Guess what?

It depends on what wires you are touching. Do the smart thing, power down first.

I guess I am 10 of 10, this is going to be a suplement to my current COMPONENT STERIO sub.

They're speaker wires.  You could lick them if you wanted.
