Just use regular speaker wire. I've found some weird readings on my DMM before using those banana clips.

Like ben said, just use little pieces of speaker wire and use them in the push terminals with the wires from the amp.

Those banana clips are really crappy and can potentially fall out.

a buddy of mine had 1 of the banana clips slide out... whether he had it pushed in all the way, i dont know. could of caused damage to the sub and amp if we had not noticed it in time.

speaker wire FTW in this situation

What about the motor obd1 or obd2 ???

Worst case scenario you will need a jumper harness for the ecu......oh and is your honda pre-wired for vtec ??

Wait? I have space for the banana clips and like just the regular terminals to hook it up... I don't have them on my old type r's?

Be careful. Type R's get all their power from those banana clips. They won't pound without them.

Sound a little too kinky for my liking. Anyways, i have always had/seen subs without these. I won't be using the clips either as i already lost them. I have no idea how to wire them up with these extra 4 slots on each sub.
