zack_e89 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 When I was doing my sub speaker wire with 8 awg, I had to get reducers (from radioshack) to put multiple wires into one terminal, like you're trying to do.

MrSkippyJ Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Easier to use some bolt terminals and split the wire at the terminal.

Cadillac John Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 all you have to do is drill 4 holes, 4 brass screws, 12 washers, 4 nuts the four wingnuts to finish it off. Unless you glued the sub in...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1919 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 10g? really? looks more like 8g..anyways, you should be able to squeeze two minutely trimmed 10g into a terminal. I did what you're doing with 8g. Yeah took hours to finish. Use the lineman pliers like he posted above, that will compress the wires to a very efficient small diameter and you should be able to get them in. If you're running a lot of power/low Fs/etc, then try to stay away from banana plugs and such, as they have a tendancy to get loose and create heat and start melting plastics around them, and also heat up the amp from resistance issues, not to mention possibly shorting out the terminals. I gave up on BJ's after too many times of cumming out lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
