Treaded-rod For Terminals.

[Punkeyboozter]

Hi guys, Im planning to use treaded rod for terminals on my woofer box. Seeing that this is the electrical section ill post it here.

options..

stainless steel mt10 rod

or

brass mt 10 rod.

ill be using some for bracing as well...

what will work better for this application and work better in the long run? Any other seggestions welcome but im not keen on running wire down the port.

I used 1/4-20 stainless bolts for my terminals on my box and have had no problems.

brass is a way better conductor than stainless

so I was told, but they say brass corrode over time and I am worried that the effectiveniss will be less over time.?

what did you guys use to seal around them? I suppose some washers and nylon locking nuts are also recuired?

you could always get some aluminum/copper and tread/tap your own and yeah lock nuts and some washers and you'll be fine some silicone wouldnt hurt either

im sure your current set up will be taken out and replaced by the time they corrode

hahah yeah i am sure that will be the case as my ass can be a bit itchy at times...

I believe a small build log would be in order

ill post some specks in the woofer building section in a while; can someone please review my tuning.

thx guys

i use bolts to however the mose effective way is to drill little holes and run wire from the amps directly to the sub..that will allow the mose juice to flow, it your not gonna do that then your restircting the flow wnyway so almost any regular bolt will suffice....

So if I do this the resin-and-fibre im planning to use on the inside wont damage the cable? I also want to wire the subs to one(1) ohm in the box(to keep it clean) What would be your seggestion on connectors etc if i dont take them to the bolts?

I recoemnd you resin and fiber first teh drill holes and pull the wires thru then caulk it......
