Wiring Question

[jimmy221990]

Im trying to figure out how to hook up the tweeters. I got 12 AWG for the tweeters and mids but the tweeters have female ends on them so should I cut them off and splice the 12 AMG or get some male inputs?

You could use a male connector and connect it that way. Or like the saying goes-there is a thousand ways to make hot water. The only right way is what you decide it to be. One wayt is you cut the insulation back on both pieces of wire exposing atleast half an inch a piece. Cut a piece of heat shrink tubing much longer than needed to cover the bare wire and slide it on one of the cables. Take the bare wires of each cable and seperate them into several smaller clusters of bare wires. Take both cables and twist a small cluster of wire with another cluster on the other cable folding back toward the speaker. Take another group of clusters and twist together folding back the opposite way of the previous cables. Now that all the bare wires are happily twisted together with the other wires slip the heat shrink tubing over the connection and apply hot air. There is many many different ways to connect wires. I like to make my own rca cables and speaker wires utilizing copper or silver. Good luck.
