Ebay or knukonceptz for ring terminals

12 GAUGE easier to stick in the terminals

I'm running a pair if SE-x 10's on about 2kw and using 10awg OFC for the sub wiring. LOL fits in the terminals just fine, its not car audio wire though. To be 100% honest, I tore apart a messed up extension cord (10/3) and robbed the wire. Haha

like @mylows10;, i also use 8 gauge wire. ive seen small as 6 gauge being used.... bigger speaker wire helps reduce IMP rise.....

Quick question about terminals. Will they fit on my battery? Cause all the 1/0 gauge ring terminals i have seen online, the ring hole doesn't look big enough to fit on my battery.

im not really sure. is it safe to use ring terminals for battery terminals or should i actually buy a 1/0 gauge battery terminal similar to this.
