8 Ga sub wiring?


Recommended Posts

Searched here and google for an answer, couldn't find the info i needed.

I want to wire my SA-8 D4 V2 with 8 guage wire, i am using 12 Ga. now but would like to kick it up a notch.

How do i wire the terminals (circled in red) with two peices 8 guage in a connection meant for one? and still be able to get it back into the enclosure?

Seen a video of someone using 8 guage ground blocks (2 into 1) to set up the + and - is this the only way?

Terminal bolts
Trimming the wire
Lots of amps have a pair of speaker terminals even though they are mono

Would i be better off wiring each voice coil seperately to the connecting terminal inside the box?

That might be the way to go.

I am going to be using an Alpine MRX-M55.

It has 8 ga. out for the speakers and 4 ga. for power.

Ahh. Couple options here:

Get some adapters from ToolMaker

Put ring terminals on your wire and parallel them with bolt terminals

Use a distribution block to wire your subs
