vnisme Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 So when wiring your subs in parallel or in series, lets say the subwoofer has 8 ga terminals, how do you fit two 8 ga wires in one terminal? or do you just connect one 8 ga per terminal like direct leads and twist them together at the end?

8ten8 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I've used 4awg to 8awg aluminum reducers before. No scientific testing to prove it was the best alternative but it worked for a build I did a while back. Still running strong today. Try Knukonceptz, good gear affordable. Proly someone got a better solution. See what they say first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8ten8 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 No solder. Just twisted and clamped down with the included set screw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vnisme Posted December 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 @WhiteLightning Damn you made me feel like i posted in the wrong section haha. @8ten8 so the terminal you need to fit two wires in, you use the reducer used on the power and ground on amps instead? Interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will77530 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Use smaller wire? if the manufacturer has their terminal sized for a specific wire size do you really think your going to see a difference using a tad bigger wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ten8 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yeah, I was in a pinch. Dude had 8awg speaker wire and well...That's what I came up with. Had to file the male side a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 The chances of most people exceeding the AC voltage/amperage limit of a 8 awg wire is highly unlikely so stepping down to a smaller size is fine. If you must run 8 awg wire then do multiple runs from the terminal cup or amp so you dont have to make wire fit when your trying to daisy chain from 1 speaker terminal to another. Like so then each coil has its own pair of wires: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
