Anonymous | Im unclear as to what to do to run the speaker wire into my sub i have a 12 in eclipse ti do i have to strip the wire???? because i put it in one terminal then when i put the wire on other side to load it at 2 ohms there isnt an opening on the wire?? do i have to strip some back and run it through? im really confused as to how i run the wires through the terminals- i have done the rest of the install its juts that im down to the end of it and i dont want to screw up now |
