I believe so, its possible to repair it.
Its something my dad would probably try to repair before garbaging.

Is it speaker wires? If yes, then probably. As long as the + and - are connected correctly.

Those are good to have but if you're in a pinch electrical tape will work. If you do get a cap it's not a bad idea to use the cap and then electrical tape around the cap and wire to hold it together.

I bought a package of these solder seal wire connectors. You insert the wires into the tube, then use a heat gun to melt the solder in the center, shrink the tubing, and melt the adhesive which seals the connector.and makes it waterproof.

I did see these types of sleeves but I don't have a heat gun already so it was less cost effective than the repair I did. I really appreciate your advice.
