teamace24 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I just got done with my box for my two Fifteen Aq sdc and was wondering what should i do about the sub wiring. I have an old terminal cup with the positive and negatives on it but i was wondering what does everybody else use and whats the best one. I was thinking of just drilling two small holes just enough for my postive and negative wire coming from my subs wired to 1 ohms. I would then just silicon the spot where the two wires are coming from then just connect them to my amp. I need to know whats the best and least resistant method where im getting the best connection. Does anybody use like a all thread type of bolt and just ring terminal it on each side, and if so what kind of bolt is it, copper or does it matter. Thanks.

What i was thinking but also those stainless steel bolts, do i get the regular type like this with a nut and washer: or the all thread ones?

I think it's easier to work with regular bolts and lock washers. I've never had anything come loose on me and they work great. Quote Need an install?

teamace24 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 One last thing since i would have the bolts exposed as terminals i am worried that there might be a short. Does anyone know what i can do to cover the bolt terminals to prevent this.

imfrom210texas Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 How are you going to get a perfect cut for the bolt to fit? You just gonna drill a hole and fill it with silicone? I like this idea, and would like to do it on my box build. Quote If Morgan Freeman narrated a story on how great AIDS is, I would be captivated and tempted to contract it myself.
