Wiring size issues


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just ordered some KnuKonceptz Kord Ultra Flex 10 Gauge Speaker Wire, and while my amp is being repaired I am rewiring my subs down to 1 Ohm. Dual 1 ohm level 4's. The issue I am running into is trying to fit 2 of the wires into 1 push terminal just isnt working, its too thick for the terminal itself. How can I get around this issue? Will I need to use different wire, or is there an item similar to a Y connector that I can use to make this work?

Sorry for the newby question, and my awesome Paint skills.

Here is the terminals I am having issues with.

Cut, Strip jacket, Solder, Heatshrink.

OR

Reduce wire size.

OR

Use a modified ring terminal.

Run wires from each terminal on each sub to individual terminals on the box. Do all of your coil configurations at the terminals outside the box. Much less of a PITA anyway. Just use nuts and bolts for terminals and you can easily change coil configurations without removing subs. There is no need to over-complicate this...

Ah thank you. I have spent most of the day tearing my car apart to run wires in it and my brains fried rofl. I appreciate the advice from you guys.
