matt402 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 yes. u usually have to trim 8awg a lil bit tho. i put wires in the back & front of the terminals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatBox Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 you can so run the wires from each coil to bolts on the side of the box and wired them down to what ever ohm load from the outside(if that makes sense) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) well what i do now, i put 1 wire from each terminal to the side of the box (usually bolts) and wire it externally into parallel or series, so if you want to change it, you dont have to pull the sub out. same thing as said above^^^ Edited July 24, 2011 by ChevyBoy95 Quote Best Score to Date : 160.5 dB Outlaw (47Hz)[4 XM 15's & 2 Taramps Bass 12k's] BL : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147800-chevyboy95s-4-15s-7krms-wall-1533-db-on-half-power/YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/hitemwiththeflex/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert8252 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I made two 8g wires fit but just use 10g or 12g wire. You won't gain anything with the bigger wire.

AA98hoe Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 2 8s wont fit 1 barely does if you trim it down. put them to bolts like stated above or solder them together to a single run to your amps outputs Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.
