woofer connector

Guys I know this is a little elementary but I need help with my first install. What type of connector do I use to connect the speaker wire to the subwoofer voice coils? It is a Rl-p if that helps any, thanks.

The RL-p uses push terminals, IIRC.

Just strip a half inch of wire to bare copper, and stick it in there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If you wanna go fancy you can pick up some banana plugs for home theater use, its a waste of money IMO though.

^ x2, I threw mine away. Is there a a t-splitter style connector out there for wiring parallel? It's a ***** cramming 2 wires in one hole. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Make your own. All you need is three ring terminals per polarity. Run a wire from each sub and screw on a flat panel in side of box with a main wire goin to the terminal fromthat same screw, using three ring terminals per polarity
