8 Gauge speaker wire help!


Recommended Posts

I am running 8 gauge speaker wire from my amp to sub, how can I connect the wires from outside the box to the wires from the sub inside the box?? I was thinking about putting two bolts through the box and connecting them that way, but is that a fire hazard? Will the electricity through the carpet and wood of the box cause a fire? Whats another way to connect them? Thanks!

Bolt terminals are actually really common if you look around on here.

Here are the ones I put on my box.

I did one set of terminals for each voice coil so I can easily rewire from the outside of the box if I ever want to. I also replaced the two inside wingnuts with regular nuts. I didn't space them out enough, and the wingnuts were able to touch each other if they were in the wrong position.
