February 8, 200916 yr 8-10 gauge.Dawinner!!!! 8 or 10 is the norm...But Simon Eichenberger would use 1/0.
February 9, 200916 yr 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?

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
February 9, 200916 yr 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.
February 9, 200916 yr fray them and the solder them together like fray them and cut it down a little bit then solder them together
February 9, 200916 yr 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.
February 9, 200916 yr 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=76122037But 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 =\
February 9, 200916 yr 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.
February 9, 200916 yr 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
February 9, 200916 yr 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.
February 9, 200916 yr I use cheap banana plugs that you crimp.What's the largest two wires you are able to fit in there?
