yeah thats it, probably cheaper on amazon if you're getting it shipped

just make sure the opening is large enough for up to 2/0 or so, usually is

Make sure you have a weighted hammer. A normal hammer (one used to put nails in the walls to hang up pictures in your house) will not work.

So if you don't have a weighted hammer, it would probably be the same to get a hydraulic crimper which kicks *** and is super easy to use IMO.

Find a local welding supply store. Most sell and crimp wire in the 1/0 to 2/0 size and they crimp at the store. If you have any local its a great place to buy pure copper wire and have made up for ya

Is it a mono? I'm not going back and checking. If it is, that's just so you can plug in more wires. For real. It all goes to the same exact location. If you were bridging woofers and stuff. I used mine to double up the run of wire to the sub box but it was a PITA so I went with the single run instead

its just for ease of wiring. Its basically still a single channel internally bridged its not a two channel. What ohm were your subs again?

If your electrical system is strong, just wire them parallel. If its weak then 2 ohms is fine for now, but you'll want to go half ohm sooner or later.

there also dual would that matter?

you have 2 ohms or .5 ohms load possible with your current subs. yes it does matter on how you wire them

.5 ohms is much more stressful on an electrical system, i'd advise against it unless you got some good battery, alt and big 3 support.

2 ohms is a lot less power but less stress on your electricals.
