Where can you buy terminal cups at?

[THXdts 10+ year member]

Because the one that came with my subwoofer, the things inside need like butt splice things, and the amp kit I bought only came with spade terminal things //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. Does like Ace hardware or something sell them? Lol.

I'm confused, why are you replacing the entire terminal cup? Just get a different connector at a hardware store to go on the end of the wire...

Jim can you help me out for one sec first..what size wire do you use to wire the sub inside the box? I am thinking some of my 4AWG..or no? Because if smaller, I have butt splices for smaller wire..

12-14awg is more than enough...

butt splice?

a female spade?

What the hell this shit confuses me. Why do you wire the sub with 12-14 awg, but also have to have 4AWG wire? And I am using that Rockford Fosgate wiring thing. Wiring my sub to 1 ohm. With speaker wire the positive and negative are right next to each other one the wire. You know how they are like glued together. How could you wire the sub to 1 ohm when the speaker wire is together? Hopefully you will understand that lol.

I know. No shitty resonances comming from a shitty terminal cup.

the sub has 4 posts. two positive, two negative. get 12-14 gauge wire, press down on the post to show the hole, make sure wire is stripped enough and insert it in. connecting the negative to the negative post and same thing for positive. one of each post is going to have to accept two wires of course to be wired to the terminal cup.

Cookie?

As long as you're not running a ton of power, I don't think they're that big of an issue.

but also have to have 4AWG wire?

That 4awg is power wire for the amplifier, not speaker wire.
