So, i got a 0 gauge wire kit. The wire wont fit into the terminal on the fuse or into the amp. Im guessing i can trim it down and be fine? A little electrical tape to insulate it. On the terminal can i leave the branching out bit their and just wrap it in Ele Tape.

Thanks guys!

So, i got a onx 1500.1 and the input is 2 ga. Do i trim the wire down alot (mines oversized) or the wire kit i got came with the 0 ga spade terminal its a little big but could grind it or bend it to fit. Do i use the spade bit?

i'd seriously recommend you getting reducers then a lot less hassle, cleaner setup and better power flow..

 
Reducers will look and probably function better. Trimming will work but it's pretty ghetto. I would think you're going to show this off so reducers would be my choice.

good chance of shorting out the amp or blowing a fuse if its fused. Mainly because the positive and negative terminals are very close to each other. reducers are only 4 dollars each, 8 dollars insurance for your whole amp setup. They are reusable for any future setups too so its worth it man.

But if your really really tight on money, you could trim but make sure its a clean trim and isolate everything off with electrical tape Make sure you finish with one side completely before you start the other.

Yes. But wont the reducers touch? Im pretty sure they will. So then i would need a Dis block and some 4 gauge wire. The Manual says the terminal is 2 gauge but its about half the size of the 0 gauge. Seems a little small for 2.

No problem. The Dayton ultimax is one of the better sounding sealed subs I’ve heard. I kinda want to try the 18 in my ride.
