Need Ideas on wiring subs to amp

Gold Member Username: MixmastaspigCanada, Canada Canada Post Number: 1410 Registered: Sep-05 | Well I can't decide on how to wire my subs up to my box. I need to have the wired to a .5ohm load (dual 2ohm each)... I would have like to have the bolts on the top of the box, but there is less than 1" from the top of the box to the top of my trunk. The only way I can think of setting this up is having 8 bolts (4 per sub) on either the side of the box, or the back of the box. I could then use speaker wire and ring terminals to wire the subs on the outside of the box down to .5ohm. Or I could run the wire through the front of the port...lol Does anyone have an easier idea for doing this? As I am sure there would be another way....this way would require a lot of wire and ring terminals (24 ring terminals).....and I don't like that! Thanks! Heres what I mean:  |

Tie a knot in the wire inside the box b4 you seal it up. Pull it until the knot hits the inside of the box. It will prevent it from slipping through in case you pull on it. |
