[QUOTE="AWD PSI, post: 6984029, member: 625722"] I really want to use the spade connectors, I couldn't get the bare wire to look neat enough for me. The terminal inputs for power/remote/ground are the same size as the speaker terminals. I cant use a spade connector that fits the terminal for 2 reasons; any spade connector that fits the terminal is too small to accept 8ga wire and if I try and modify any connector big enough to hold 8ga wire there is not enough material to be able to sand down and fit the terminal. What I need is a small spade connector that can hold large gauge wire. The manual for the amp call for 8ga so I'm not sure why it is so difficult to connect. Ring terminal is no problem but I have the same issue connecting the ground to the amp. Why do they say to use a larger gauge wire and still only give us tiny terminals? [/QUOTE]
