Bolt for speaker wires in enclosure

[Nut Hair Trick 10+ year member]

Ive seen a few enclosure builds that had their subs wired through the box with 2 bolts going through the side. The wire had ring conectors that slid down on the bolt with nuts on top. What kind of bolts are these and where do you get them? Thanks, I know this sounds trivial but im about to start my box build and I like this option better than the terminal box, since I want to use 8awg

almost every terminal cup I've used accepts 8ga. wire for the record.

binding posts are cool (I"m assuming u mean binding posts not bolts), and they even make some with push terminals in case you don't wanna do spade terminals on your wire.

I think you are talking about binding posts? I have them on my sub enclosure. I paid someone to build the custom enclosure but didn't like the speaker terminals they used. Plastic spring loaded crap that wasn't even large enought to accept 12 gauge speaker wire. So I took them out, drilled a bigger hole and installed my own which are gold plated posts with a hole through the center and a black and red 1/2 plastic nut you can tighten doww onto the wire placed through the hole. Solid, won't work loose and accepts 12 gauge and then some. You can easily find these on the Net.

This is funny.I wish I could throw a pic in here. I am using bolts. 8 of them.

I drilled out 8 1/4 inch holes.2 for positive and 2 for negative for each dual voice coil sub.Put the positives on top,and the neg's on the bottom.Now I can switch from 1 Ohm to 4 Ohm in about 1 minute (without taking out the subs).
