EricR Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 lol you'll be ok i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

white_boi_audio Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Should I use some ring terminals so the wire wont just be twisted on the bolt and tightend down with a nut?

Derrick824 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 lol you'll be ok I can't help but laugh a little myself. Why would it catch fire? They shouldn't get hot, spark, or produce a flame unless something is seriously wrong with your setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
