Posted February 10, 200916 yr What do I use for some wire terminals...? Anyone have a tut? I am making my own box and i plan on using screws like most of the other people, for a tight seal. It's urgent!
February 10, 200916 yr Author Screws? You mean a bolt and nut?Yeah, thats what I meant to say. That's what they use right?
February 10, 200916 yr Yeah. Copper bolts would be best, but it will be easier and cheaper to use steel bolts.

Hex bolt with washer, secure the speaker leads from inside the box (duh!). On the outside, another washer, and then a nut to keep the bolt tight - I'd even go so far as to use some Loctite to make sure the nuts don't loosen from the vibration. Then, secure the amplifier leads (ring terminals, again) with another washer and nut - I'd use a Nylock locking nut to prevent it from loosening, but still be readily able to be removed should you need to.
