choke up on one wire, make a cut then Join/solder wires together. Then use a heat shrink to cover it. Then you only need to fit in one 8 gauge wire to the terminal.

kinda like this (doesnt need to be choked up that far)

Thx Jeff

I thought of that too. Right now that's what I'll end up doing.

I though about buying a short piece of Brass Solid Rod and making my own dual terminals.

Has anyone used Machined adapters pieces? I'm sure someone has?

If you want to use the money then here. I use toolmaker dual 1/0 to single 1/0 inputs for my amp, makes things connect a lot easier, Not sure how they will stay on subwoofer push pin terminals though.

Or fit two of them in a 4 gauge reducer

Ya, was about to say..You could use these may have to squeeze the wire in,and could fill with solder and heat shrink.May have take a dremel to get them to fit in push terminals

Use stranded wire, not a solid rod, in a subwoofer spring-loaded terminal.
