Direct Leads

[Avery Howell]

This is probably a stupid question but what are Direct Leads and what are the advantages of them?

Thanks guys!

Do you mean amp to sub leads

There is no stupid question, but the can always be stupid answers.

Direct leads = no push terminals. Just wire that comes straight off of the tinsel leads. I'm not sure if it's been proven to be better or not. I've never had a problem with push terminals.

There is nothing wrong with push terminals DD made direct leads as a sale gimmic and to save money the save 5 bucks a sub not putting on push terminals times that by a thousand subs sold DD just saved 5 grand and made you think it was better for doing it

Some good marketing right thuurrr

less resistance to your sub = potentially higher score on a TL. you most likely couldnt tell the difference between direct leads and terminals on a sub unless they are some very resistive little phuckers.

Same resitance there is still a connection being made from the tinsel to the lead fyi

I tested it good try tho just a sales gimmic

Best benefit I see is it's easier to use 8ga + for speaker wire. Pretty hard to put 2 pieces of 8ga into 1 push terminal (without cutting any stands). No sale gimmick there.. just just common sense.

yea i tested .1 ohm resistance in the terminals. but maybe i did it wrong. i think we agree that direct or push terminals will sound the same and are nearly the same in connection quality
