Fusion active sub wiring help

[Twixx]

Hey guys,

I just picked up an old Fusion en-at1100 active tube.

It didn't come with the wiring plug so I'm having to figure it out myself. I'm pretty sure I've found the 6 pin plug at a local electronics store but will need to sure the plug appropriately. My main question is, how do I wire 2 thinner power wires and ground wires to suit 8 or 10 gauge wires for the power/ground? I'm not 100% sure how thick of a wire I can get into the plug, will hopefully get my hands on it tomorrow to have a better look.

Also bring a 300w RMS amp would 10g be ok or should I be looking at 8g? I'm concerned if I go 8g I'll have more trouble mating the wires together.

Hopefully I can get this figured out so I can get it installed by the weekend. Cheers all

I like using these on my amps that are wired directly from the board.

There are smaller ones there as well.

I had an old fusion sub a few years back. the plug is a 6 pin pc power supply connector.
you can get em on newegg pre wired pretty cheap ->here <-
just strip the two wires about an inch away from the 6 pin on the 12v and ground side. and tie them into whatever gauge wire you would normally use for that amount of wattage.

I had it for years and never had a problem.

as long a the thin wire portion is short it will carry the power just fine. besides. pc power supplies push upwards of 700 watts using this same connector and wire size.

you can always use the hair braid method and solder them together. they will hold just fine.
