Will the wood cancel out and power or current? Thanks Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer
J00bles Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 just use bolts with washers and nuts on them. the wood does nothing to your power, so youll be fine.

EricR Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 In English? Quote 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?

Airborne Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 I used brass bolt when we used normal bolts the gave me a nasty imp rise always wondered if it had a noticeable rise. The bolts don't conduct as well as stranded wire. Maybe thread some small copper bar? Quote

I had surgery a month ago and I am gimped up and one handed for a while but I can thread some copper! I am going to see if I can score some and compare the resistance against some steal and stainless bolts. Quote
Wastehog Posted June 8, 2010 Report Posted June 8, 2010 If you do use bolts, use a double nut on the outside. Then you can have one nut hold the ring terminal and the other holds the bolt in, so then you don't have to remove the subs to tighten the bolts.

7jezuz7 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Posted June 8, 2010 I need to do this sometime, using those plastic red and black connections or whatever they are, are no good. So just any kind of bolt and nut works? Quote An Audio Technix 18" Strato on a Kicker KX120.2 My Youtube Bass Vids Updates When Possible...
