Anyone have an idea why this may be happening to one of my 3 subwoofers?
Thanks!

What do you use? How is 12 gauge too small? If I remember correctly it was a pain in the *** to connect to everything because it was thicker..So I should us 10 gauge now?and this is why I don't use terminals to make connections. changing metal between signals as well as too small a gauge of wire contributed to the melting of that wire.
Thanks, could you recommend a better connection?You need to use a good 12ga/10ga of wiring,nothing CHEAP..Id use 10ga,and you will need to rewire all your subs with the same wire throughout back to the amplifier.And change that connection as well/possibly all of them,as they are cheap possibly,and cannot withstand /disipate heat very well.
wire directly to sub than wire to wire. i don't use terminal cups or connections ever. I use 12 gauge for anything under 800 watts RMS, anything above that gets 10 gauge and goes directly to the amp if possible.What do you use? How is 12 gauge too small?

Aren't those basically just like the ones I have?6 2 5 8" Binding Post Sub Box Enclosure Terminal Cup | eBayThese type of post are generally the way to go
haha, I just bought some battery terminals off this seller last week. They're local too. Thanks10 GA 10 Gauge 20 Foot Speaker Wire 10ga 100 Oxygen Free Copper OFC Cable | eBayPretty decent wire also..Ive put this in my nephews Scion, and have had no issues for the last two yrs up to date
So if I where to wire directly to the amp now, how could I do it? Would I just drill a hole in the terminal somewhere and run it through? Any issues with sound leaks or anything like that?wire directly to sub than wire to wire. i don't use terminal cups or connections ever.
