i read the sticky on this already, but can you use speaker wire instead? and how do you remove the push terminals and make the connection style of the pos and neg leads like the AQ or DD's?

i think im being boycotted on this site

Unscrew the terminals and solder wire directly to the leads.

any special way to secure it to the basket?

any special way to secure it to the basket?

When you take the terminals off there will be three holes in the basket, the one in the middle is where the bolt goes through to attach the terminal. he other two on the side you can squeeze the wire through.

I was on audioque.com a minute ago looking at their subs, the HDC3's and the picture of the 15" shows them just using wire ties to tie it to the basket (just click on the photo to enlarge it). Just my .02

thanks for the help guys, i appreciate it
