Alternatives to cup terminals?

Probably right but hey, ya know, S#!t happens! Better to just play it safe! I NEVER thought anything could get into my ports if I kept the area clean. Found a shirt I have been missing for 2 weeks..

ANd you couldnt tell the sound change or hear flapping? A sunglass case got into mine the other day(silk bag cases) and i could hear that damn thing fluttering around like crazy.

Honestly you probably have a better chance of your power wire coming out of the fuse or the terminal coming loose on your battery than that happening.

Maybe... But i like to play it safe. I just run wire straight to the amp and call it a day

yea I did. Thought I blew out a sub so I didn't play as loud till I was able to afford a new one. Was surprised to find my old tshirt in the chamber. I was like what are the odds a tshirt gets suucked all the way down the port into the chamber!?!?

I would assume so, but I bought mine at Menards.

Hmm I'm gonna have to do some investigating. I really like those. Are they sold individually, how much do they run? Sorry for all the questions.

i use 10-24 bolts and locking nuts as well. then ring terminals. i've drilled holes and sealed with silicone. i've used the Dayton studs. it's install dependent.

how much resistance is there after all those lugs and bolts?

I'll probably go with some simple wing nut/nut/washer setup. Don't like the idea of sealing a hole with caulk. Wth do I do when I have to change speaker wire for whatever reason?
