amp wire mounting
Friday, October 20, 2006 9:49 PM
I have 2 gauge power wire and it doesn't exact fit perfectly in the hole on my amp (RF P2002) for the power wire with the set screw. I tried cuttin the wire down but it stil does fit right. How did you all get the wire to stay in? Also how did you all get the ground wire to stay under a bolt? i tried wrapin the wire around the bolt but i slips out after awhile.

It's got 4 gauge inputs; 2 gauge > 4 gauge. Keep cutting bro. Also, they make terminals to either crimp or screw down onto wire for it to fit on a bolt with ease

they make a step down connecter so u can go from 2 gauge to 4 gauge, then add the proper connector to the end of that. though generally i myself just run the biggest wire that an amp can handle. meaning if the manufactuer designed it with a 4 gauge terminal unless you power wire is 15' long a 4 gauge wire will work just fine.

Cant you buy some connections that alow you to out your wire into the amp without makeing it smaller? kinda like the connection that goes to the battery but smaller, they're like ten bucks at futureshop/bestbuy....

most wire companies should have them so anyone that sells wire would be able to get them. 2 ga. type wiring is usually harder to find at your local places. and it will probalby cost you what you could buy a piece of 4 gauge for lol. on a budget i'd suggest knuconcepts.com think thats how u spell it.

You may also just need to strip the wire back more. Be sure it is getting all the way in there.
