Posted July 16, 200916 yr i need to wire my sub at 2 ohms. the blue line on the right that goes from 1 of the positive's, to 1 of the negative's, is that 1 piece of speaker wire or is it both that i twist together and put in the terminal? like speaker wire has a positive and negative, do i separate it and only use one side, or do i twist together and just use both? hopefully my questions makes sense. thanks guys.

How much power are u giving the sub and what AWG do u plan on using??
July 16, 200916 yr Author alright thanks for the quick reply! i have a kicker 750.1 and 4awg Knu wire.
July 16, 200916 yr i wouldn't use anything smaller than 16AWG speaker wire. 2 feet of 16 Awg can handle about 1300 watts Edited July 16, 200916 yr by sqjeep

July 16, 200916 yr Author sweet. thanks! 1 more question, i DO NOT want the speaker wire sticking out the other side of the push terminal right? or does it matter?
July 16, 200916 yr naw it really doesnt matter but make sure its not to short that it can easily slip out, so maybe just coming out the other end a little bit to be on the safe side Edited July 16, 200916 yr by jay-cee
July 16, 200916 yr Author alright. its just barely out the other side, not in the way of touching the basket or the other wire. thanks guys!
