ballhard365 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have a DC level 4 15 and am wondering how to fit the 8ga power wire as speaker wire for the sub. I am wiring it in paralel and dont see how you guys fit it in the terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 they use bolts mounted to the side of the box in order to parallel/series the coils. you can do 1 terminal per bolt, or wire all +'s to 1 bolt and all -'s to another bolt. however you want to do it. you probably can figure out what i mean by that.

I think he is asking how to fit the 8GA into the terminals on the actual sub itself. Twist them as tight as you can, you may get lucky. On my SA's I just trimmed a little bit of wire from the edges, twisted and got it in. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, sorry very new.. How do you exactly paralel it with the bolts? and does it matter the bolt? I was told to use a wing nut on one end also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt sure if you could trim a little of the wire or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That1Kid Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 If you twist the wire tight enough, it'll work. Use stainless steel bolts, nuts, washers. -98' Ford Expedition (Rest in Peace) -AVH-P3300BT -Crescendo BC5500 -4 18" DC m2 Level 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
