Tie a knot in the wire inside the box and pull it tight b4 you silicone it and it wont pull through. Best connection there is. Even though I like terminals.

Post Number: 5177 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 03:50 GMT You can get those terminals at Lowes...use use a bolt to mount them. The is 8ga wire in them. I wired each VC to its own terminals...that way I can change the wiring from outside the box.
