OrionStang Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Whats the biggest gauge speaker wire that the standard DC XL terminal can take, keeping in mind that some terminals will need to accept 2 wires. Think 2 8-gauge will fit? SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I had 4ga on my SeXXX 12's. You can make it fit bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight_65 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 If you use bolts through the box as terminals you can switch up parallel/series/parallel-series combo from the outside of the box and use bigger wire My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight_65 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm sure 8g will work fine (maybe even 4g shaved down) if you use the bolts. I heard a demo truck that used 4g for thier woofers I was disappointed but at least they had the right idea.

Rainman215 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 If this is for your wall I suggest you do the nut and bolt terminals like flashlight said. That way you can switch up impedences without taking the subs out and you can use 8ga with no problem My 02 Accord Wall Build 2 Sundown Audio Nightshade V1 18s --- 1 SAZ 3500 Sundown Audio 100.4 --- 4 Sundown Audio Neo-Pro 8s Sundown Audio 125.2 --- 2 Morel MD-12 Tweeters , 2 Selenium ST-200 Tweeters DC Power 270xp --- 4 XS Power D1200s | 1 D5100R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I like the wiring from the outside idea, but I am fucking retarded when it comes to speaker wiring, series, parallel, ohm load. Just can't grasp ohm's law. Maybe someone could show me how to wire up to the bolts, then from the bolts to the subs. 3 dual 1.4s xl's. Looking to get close to 1 ohm as possible.

Hugh G. Rection Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 i always like the terminals on my solo-x's. you could screw the push terminal off, put whatever size wire in a ring terminal, then use the push terminal as a nut to hold it on.
