Hey all.

I have a 12" Fi BL wired like this:

My question is that I bought 8AWG to wire the thing, problem is, the terminals only accept about 12AWG.

So I trimmed about 1/2 or more the wires at the stripped ends, making it 16AWG, and I used 12AWG to wire the + --> + and - --> - and cut the ends the same way..

Should I be concerned, or what would have been a better option?

Those damn holes are so small. =[

PS: twisted speaker wire is a PITA to strip.

You only need 12 gauge for that...

thats really the only way to do it. your fine

8awg is soooo overkill for that. Just use 12awg. If the subwoofer needed 8awg power leads.. I'd put money on Fi putting 8awg terminals on it.
