I run 8g and make all my own connections //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

What size do the push terminals on the subs themselves usually except max?

Generally 12 ga some up to 10 ga. But with a proper connection, you can do just about any gauge you desire(Modifications never hurt for upgrading /customizing) You can solder any gauge you desire

3/16" diameter but I make oversized 8 g terminals

But op you can do just fine with 12 g

Use the biggest your sub and amp can both accept.

I use 4 gauge sky high ofc between my Banda and Z's direct leads //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Had the 4 gauge laying around, and it fit in the amp's output without trimming the wire

Yep, it was a Banda Viking 5000. Power inputs were single zero gauge, unlike Taramps that are 4/0. However, they have 4 gauge speaker output terminals. I'm not sure if they're current monsters or what. I thought Brazillians were more voltage

My new 7000 is supposed to get here tomorrow. I could post pics if it does. @Boomsday; could probably verify it too. He runs Banda

would be nice if all amps had 4g speaker terminals and subs with min 4g standard . LOL I have to make the 4 g terminals if I want to put them on my Ampere but for me the 8g is plenty for 3800.1

I was wondering if you made terminals for Banda's. If I had gotten a Taramps HD 8000, I would have gotten your dual 8 gauge outs.

I don't need any now though

12 will work.

Anything over that is overkill imo.
