8-10 gauge.

Dawinner!!!! 8 or 10 is the norm...

But Simon Eichenberger would use 1/0.

Say you use 8 awg, How would you fit 2 8 awg into a terminal since you have to bridge them. Ex) 4 ohm dvc wiring at 2 ohm. Whats the most common way to fit the wire? Solder it together?

If it does not fit you may trim it with a cutter. Please dont solder your wire....just stick it in there

Into a terminal in the sub? You don't have to do two.....

Into the amp outputs? I used 4 gauge for my speaker wire and I used distribution blocks.

fray them and the solder them together like fray them and cut it down a little bit then solder them together

Male banana connectors.

Use bolts through your box with ring terminals.

Well fraying them down would defeat the purpose wouldn't it? Some of you didn't understand what I meant though. For example.. Where I circled is where two wires need to be fitted.

Like with my sub I wanted to use 8 awg. Two 8 awg wouldn't fit though, so I bought these http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...FTOKEN=76122037

But they stuck out over the subs inner cutout, so I couldn't even get the sub in the box after using those.. So I resulted in using 12awg =\

Well what do you know lol, male banana plugs! They will work, its for a 15" the terminals are quite far from the sub od.

Well my sub is a 12, and I tried it and it didn't work. But for his 15" bl it will work. All I am asking is, What is the regular way for fitting these wires.. The trick of the trade... Just use smaller wire? lol

[Duran 387]

The way I have always done it is banana plugs.

Does partsexpress carry the ones you use? Cause the ones I got were too long.

[Duran 387]

I use cheap banana plugs that you crimp.

What's the largest two wires you are able to fit in there?
