xpfx Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I'm wanting to know how to do the bolt terminals that it looks like im seeing on some of the boxes in the Member Builds threads. Is it as simple as running a bolt through the box and using some ring connectors to connect the wire to the bolts?

S15_Silvia Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Had to poke my nose in here...been wondering about them too. You don't lose any signal quality going through a bolt? I mean some are funky alloys etc. Just curious...building a box soon and I'm looking at terminal options 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

kl0wn Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I didn't use washers, just extra nuts. But doing this is a lot easier than people think it is, not much to it. You could also add some silicone onto the bolt to ensure no air leakage 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz

You could also add some silicone onto the bolt to ensure no air leakage thats what i do, but i used threaded rod instead of bolts. mine is nut/terminal/washer/box/washer/terminal/nut, then i can get a wrench on the inside of the box and outside to tighten them, but i dont change my wiring ever. i also put silicone around the whole between the washers and box before i tighten it all up. 99 s10 4.3L Big 3 220amp alt Odyssey 1500 Odyssey 2150 Northstar NSB 75 Sundown Audio 3500D Sundown Audio 125.2 3 Sundown Audio SA-12's Alpine H/U RF Power Comp set 6.5" RF 3 sixty line driver 5.25 cubes @ 31hz
fritosaregood Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 heres what i dobolt/terminal/washer/box/washer/nut then washer/terminal/wingnut that way it stays tight inside the box to thats how i do it too. that way you can disconnect things without the bolt getting loose or anything. wingnuts are great too, cuz you can disconnect without needing a wrench seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970
