We offer connections to the subwoofer either via spring loaded terminals or direct connect wiring.
Push Terminals are chrome plated, and are marked with a red and black colors to designate the positive and negative terminals. They offer the simplest installation and provide a nice secure connection.
LARGE Push Terminals are made to accept a single 4ga or dual 8ga wires and use a heavy duty, extra-thick tab bolted to the push pin, to which the leadwires from the voice coil are soldered.
Direct Connect wiring offers the very best connection directly from your amplifiers output wiring to the voice coil of your subwoofer. Our direct connect wiring is securely attached to our interwoven braided lead wire via high temperature solder, then covered with heavy duty heat shrink. You can make your connection to the wiring via the twist and tape method, large wire nuts, crimp connectors, or solder.

Upgraded to this from a 15″ platform 2. Definitely worth it if you have the space 🙂 I drive a van and need lots of cone area to move that much air and this thing gets the job done where no other sub would, even pairs. It can play loud on a power budget like 2k RMS or if you have the watts to spare you can stuff it for a little bit at a time and it will sound great both ways! It loves those ground pounding low frequencies to make sure to tune 32 and under. I experimented with a 34 and it works, but I think it’s better to make this sub truly shine in around 30hz enclosures. I plan on getting a second one around tax time 🙂
