i have 2 fi ssd 10's and was wondering what speaker size the terminals are? or what could i fit/need in them? and also i have some scrap 8 AWG power wire laying around could i use this as speaker wire??

Thanks

8 gauge would fit in the terminals but I think its just overkill to use, I personally run 13awg from my three subs to an 8 gauge connector then just one wire leaving each connector (positive and negative) going to the amp. Its all personal preference but 8,10, 12, 13 is acceptable.

12-10 gauge should be more than enough.

You can use your extra power cable, might have to trim off a little if it doesn't fit.

12 gauge is fine.

ok cool. so basically power wire and speaker wire are the same thing?

Yes, copper is copper, nothing magical that makes it either "speaker" or "power" wire.

Well, technically, speaker wire has two leads (+ and -) while power wire only has one. But there is no difference in the actual conductor, you're right.
