speaker wires getting too hot


Recommended Posts

Should also ask what brand of wire and do you know if it's ofc or cca?

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Skip the terminal. Drill a hole through the box, run the wire through, seal it off with hot glue

OP said it's hot where it connects to his box terminal. That's the source of resistance. Eliminate the terminal and run the wires straight through, no problem. If the entirety of the wire was getting hot that'd be a different story

Most likely it's a weak connection at the terminal. Drill a small hone, squeeze the wire through, and terminate direct to the woofer, then seal the wire hole with goop. Just as said above.
