ABC Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 i need help on getting the wire from the sub to the amp. i don't want to cut holes in the box to put the wire through. Ive seen people use like... bolts and the put those into the box, then attach the wire to those. is that efficient? or can someone recommend me a way to do it. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It secured and air sealed. what can i use to keep the bolt from spinning when i connect the wires? i dont wanna take a sub out and hold the bolt every time i wanna rewire from 4 ohms to 1.

ABC Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 ok is there a certain bolt i should use? sorry if it sounds nooby but maybe some have resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Use 4 bolts but wire straight to that amp is a lot more efficient that's why people do it lol. And your gonna have resistance using a bolt no matter what.

fox_racin4 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 heres a shitty explanation put the bolt threw box ( with wire conected to bolt) then on outside put a washer then a nut.. tighten that as much as you can, then on the outside it will be like a stud, put a washer then your wire then another nut/wingnut Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfiend316 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Bolt from inside, nut on other side. Then wire, and another nut. So inside -> outside is bolt-wire-nut-box-nut-wire-nut Direct wire IS more efficient though. Edit- Goddamn double ninja'd... Edit 2-I'm an idiot. Dont forget to hook up the wire inside the box lol. *fixed* Edited June 29, 2011 by bassfiend316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

727Designs Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I use 3/8" lag bolts then I use 4 nuts, I run 1 nut up the lag bolt till I have the desired amount from that nut to the end of the lag bolt, put my wire on before that nut and jam it down between the 2 nuts. After that put it through the box and jam another nut down on the outside. That leaves a stud that you can adjust the length on by using the 2 nuts inside the box, and because the wire is jammed between 2 nuts it's not going anywhere. On the outside you just put the wire on the stud, then jam it down so it's jammed between 2 nuts as well. No picture, but as visual as I can explain it.
