Playa Named Joe Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 So, I finaly got all my wires ran. I go to hook my new RF T1000 up, and the freaking wires won't fit, so I have to cut the wire basicaly in half to get it to fit. Is this bad? I kinda just "shaved" alot of the outside wire, for both my power and ground. Should I use a distro block? If so, anyone got a good price and brand that'll get the job done?

Did you try the zip tie trick? That sometimes will make the wire fit, if not you could always get the 0 to 4 gauge reducers from Darvex. Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

I was just thinking about this today! I know they make something for power wire to go from lets say a 1/0 to a 2 or 4 gauge but I have never seen it for speaker wires. I'd love a 4 to 8 gauge! also a lot of amps have screw terminals which those items I spoke of earlier won't work on. Someone please help this man!!! Quote Starting From Scratch!!

That sometimes will make the wire fit, if not you could always get the 0 to 4 gauge reducers from Darvex. What is the zip tie trick? is a reducer the same as a distro block? I'm a big noob ftw.

Help me out please. if its the new black case t1000 then yes you will have to reduce 1/0 to make it fit its made for 4 gauge. Yes, it is. If I would have known it wouldn't take 1/0, I would have gotten an AQ 1200... and saved a ton of money. Rockford says you should use 1/0 for like 1500rms, my amp does 1345, and alot of there T1000s do 1500rms, why would they make the terminals so freaking small you can run the right wire?

andym85 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 just get some gague reducers as suggested...they work great! Quote i likes me some audio stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 This is a Reducuer http://www.darvex.com/SPT821/Stinger+0+-+4...ge+Reducer.html And the zip tie trick is you take a zip tie, and put it near the end of the cable that is stripped back, and you pull the zip tie tight therefor sqeezing the strands together, so it is easier to fit the wire in a smaller hole.
