WillPwn4Food Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 So with the VVX's, I noticed the push-pin hole is pretty small, and I have 10 awg speaker wire that I need to run parallel to 4 woofers, which is 3 10-awg wires going to each pin basically... How would using banana plugs work on these? Bad idea? Good? Inputs?

By this you mean, like bolts on the side of the box? And using ring terminals on each bolt to change imp.?

WillPwn4Food Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nothing wrong with banana plugs man! I have build several cables with them. I guess I was just worried about if there'll be a solid connection at the push pin with a banana plug.

Carbon Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Its a solid connection. I wouldnt push too much power through it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayhuh? Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Fuck banana plugs lol..thanks for the insight bud. If you use banana plugs, monoprice.com has some that fight 10 ga easily These do but they tend to move http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040115&p_id=2943&seq=1&format=2 These also fit and I like them: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040115&p_id=2945&seq=1&format=2 But as Big-A said, I would do bolts. Run each sub pos to a bolt and each sub neg to a bolt, then use the the bolts to wire for impedance. Much easier, just keep track of which bolt is which lol Nothing wrong with banana clips if you ensure they will stay in and not vibrate out or move around and hit each other, etc. Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey_Dog650 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yup hate them. Cuz I used them and they did indeed vibrate out Nd arced the terminal Luckily didn't damage the sub. Probably not enough power lol 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
