Never Enough Bass Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 It should I have the sia 3500 on 2 Sa v2 d4's as long as it's ofc u should be good the terminals on the amp and the subs are only oversized 8 gauge wire terminals 06 Charger Pioneer double din Pioneer 6.5 and 6×9's Knukoncept Krystal kable rca's 0 ga knukoncept kolossus wire Big 3 same wire ^ 1 run 8g karma ss speaker wire Sundown sia 3500d at 1ohm 2 Sundown U series 12's Duralast platinum agm H7 (Main) Xs power d3400 Trying to find a ho alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never Enough Bass Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 And even if u have to trim some off just make sure what u trim off is pushed up tight to the terminal and it'll still flow the current or use the reducers like u were saying 06 Charger Pioneer double din Pioneer 6.5 and 6×9's Knukoncept Krystal kable rca's 0 ga knukoncept kolossus wire Big 3 same wire ^ 1 run 8g karma ss speaker wire Sundown sia 3500d at 1ohm 2 Sundown U series 12's Duralast platinum agm H7 (Main) Xs power d3400 Trying to find a ho alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liljxthexripper Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 ill take a pic in a few. combining my 12 gauge wires now and going to run it at 1000 watts combined for now till i get my alternator in, and anyways and itll be a good break in. i thought sky high was supposed to be only about 25% oversized but no. this 8 gauge is like 5 gauge wire because the 2 12 gauge look to be perfect size for the terminals. i was splitting and electrical taping it up so the wire was still contacting the terminal but it was just too sketchy for me to feel good about it.

Liljxthexripper Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 so even my twist 12 gauge wont fit. the terminal spring cap is 12 gauge, while the inside is actually 8 gauge. legit. these were new in box. already got my custom box, port was 3 inches from bottom so raised it to be about 5 but kept port length for tuning. already about 1400 in with the 0 gauge from gp. itll be clean eventually. im very dissappointed with these terminals. no wonder the guy i got my r3s from had custom 4 gauge terminals on it lol if i kept both i couldve switched but sold my other that i made a house sub out of just before i started this. ima just hope these wires stay in.
