Wire Terminals

[rmzsuzuki89]

What would be the best way to wire into the box. Best as in the most secure, and most current flow.

A friend of mine just drilled holes and fed the wire through, then just siliconed around to seal it up. I have also heard of people driving bolts through and wiring to them. If this will work, what type/metal bolt would be best.

My last setup used actual terminals that I got from Sound Advice. I siliconed the back of them in, but not sure if they were secure enough.

All advice is appreciated.

Ok cool, so if I were to go with the bolt idea, whats the metal of choice.

I use steel threaded 3/8 rod. 2 washers and 4 nuts. works fabulous.

I use brass bolts, nuts and washers. Put the bolt through from the inside of the box to the outside and make sure it's reasonably long, you'll be pretty annoyed if the bolt falls into the box

I've used all thread with 4 nuts and washers.....I've also done solid copper strips....like my most recent box.
