let me rephrase, since the 8 gauge wire is so thick how do I connect them at 1 ohm? Should the wires be soidered? or is there another way..

IMO put ring terminals on them, bolt through your box, and wire accordingly

This is what I did with mine. I used 4 gauge ring terminals and put a aluminum bolt with copper washers through the box. Then ring terminals on the speaker wires coming from the amp.

use lugs. pics would help me understand what your trying to say from what ive read your trying to understand how to take the direct leads from the sub to the amp,

how i did it was crimped lugs onto the direct leads all 4 if its a duel coil. then wire it up as normal at your terminal in your enclosure. in my case i used a bolt for my + and - threw the box with a wing nut. bolt goes threw the lugs off the dfrect leads threw the box. then the wing nut holds the other lug from the + or - on the amp

how many subs and also whats the ohms of the the subs but here a pic what other do here a pic I did with 2 dual 4ohm to 1ohm final imagine the gray is the back of the box

big boy wire nuts with heat shrinks over them they dont come out

Im just trying to connect the wires togethe..... since they are 8 guage its to thick to twist together. I didnt want to drill to box didnt think it would reach the the back. Didn't want to just electric tape it up. SO I was gonna soider them together or use the wire nuts and heat shrink. I just want the best options quick fast easy.

Ur talking about going from direct leads to amp with out doing terminals on the box cause ur leads sent long enough. " that's why I made mine 2.5' ea " id go with heat shrink and soldering them. You cab twist then together strieght just cut them don't twist them and push each end into each other then twist I'll post pics of what im talking about when I get off work. This is a really clean way to solder and its how my dad showed me when we did my first cd player

Ok.. I got some big wire nuts connected the 3 8 guage positive and did the same with negative to wire down to 1 ohm. I then dripped some soider in the nut to secure the connection then I checked the connection with a multimeter and its reading 3.8ish ohms. I just want to connect it right and not blow nothing up

[MACnonsence6]

what coils are you using and how many subs? im confused as to if its a d2 single sub or a pair of d4 taking pics would help alot and ima eat my borito then take pics of what i was talking about.

and idk them by name but are wire buts the things you twist on to 2 wires to secure them? if so ive also used those when i reverce mounted my sub. that will work but theres always a chance of them coming undone.
