What kind of bolts do you recommend for your sub wires into a box? Im assuming brass is best and it what ive used in the past but is it necessary?

Well then. How was I to know this? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'd assume copper clad bolts would do nicely. I know they make them for exhuast systems, but they're sort of expensive.

just run your speaker wire straight through the box?

thats what i did in my wall that i had... on the outside you fasten the wires from sliding, and then on the inside you caulk

Just what the guy above me said.

I'd give those copper bolts a shot, though.

Yea but are the brass ones bolts or screw head? Because i really want a bolt because the screw head ones i had would loosen after a while.
