Big speaker wire question

[speakerdude123 10+ year member]

I'm trying to hook up my AQ SDC2.515 woofer here, and they have like a 10awg wire coming from the voice coils (pretty big). How should I connect all six wires, two positives and two negatives and then a positive and negative from the amp(its a dual 4ohm speaker)?

It is gonna be pretty tough to solder when it is that thick of wire, so if you guys could throw some suggestions out please do.

Happy Holidays!

I looked on the AQ website and they said the best connection is a "wire nut" connection.

Any thoughts?

Im using 8gauge speaker wire on my subs (totally unnecessary for my power) and am just using wire nuts that are then taped and heat shrunk. Seems to be no problem doing this. So yea id do the wire nuts like the site says.

I picked some wire nuts up from homedepot today, got the biggest ones they had so hopefully they will fit.
