What bolts for wiring through enclosure??


Recommended Posts

Posted

Instead of doing a terminal cup I am gonna do bolts through the enclosure to wire the 8 gauge through using ring terminals. Are there any special type of bolts that have the least resistance? For example brass over aluminum?

Thanks fellas

brass is best

but i see no difference in resistance when using stainless steel on my current box

Alright cool! Thanks a lot decaf.

I figured I wouldn't mess around with terminal cups running a potential of 5000 watts rms off my Sundown 4500D.

I have a local fastenal store I can go to that has all that good stuff.

Are there any certain kind of washers I will need?

I use brass !!

Nice! I got some badass gold plated stinger 8 gauge ring terminals too from Darvex.

I'll definitely pick me up some brass bolts, my build will be soon finished!
