///Alpine91 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I was wondering if its important to use wire terminals for the wire that goes into the amp. Should i use terminals or is it ok to just stip the wire and put it in the inputs? also how does this speaker wire work? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3944_Kicker+SW1220.html# Is it one wire or is the blue positive and gray negative? 1 DC lvl 4 15" 1 Hifonics BXi 1608D 3.2ft^3 Box tuned to 32-33Hz Knu Kolossus Fleks Kable 1/0 Knu Karma SS 8 Gauge Speaker Wire Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X493 Head Unit (coming soon) Kenwood mids + highs (coming soon) Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 It depends what the amp's terminals are like. Most big amps these days use insert-style terminals so you just strip 1/2" of wire, shove it in and do up the screw to hold it in. If the amp uses terminals that will take a ring/fork/spade connector you should use one to make sure you have the best connection possible. 10.x volts fo' life!

now534 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 you can use either or for positive or negative just as long as you match the negative on on to negative on sub... and it depends on the amp like said above but the little boot they show which kinda look like half a utter just keeps the two wires apart from each other it looks like and cleans it up some.
