4ohm dvc sub to a 4ohm stable mono amp?

Don't use wire terminals just drill a hole the size of the wire (two if needed) and caulk around it(them)inside and out; and make sure you leave plenty of extra wire to reach the amp. Wire terminals = air leak = VERY BAD.

1: Terminal cups are FAR better than running wire through the box. I have never had any issue with terminal cups... EVER. If installed CORRECTLY, and you use quality terminal cups, there WILL be no issue. 2: Caulking your wires into the box, and leaving pigtails is GHETTO, dude. 3: A small air leak will NOT cause the issues you think they will... They simply won't.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=MNp6KrGnsnw time - 5:50 I'm not saying to never use wire terminals ever, for instance if you want to be able to take just your box out easily; but if your on a budget like the OP seems to be on, why spend money on terminals. Just drill holes and 1) use less wire 2) fewer connections to worry about. Why not just drill a hole were the wire needs to go instead of running them around the amp. Again why not just drill a neat little hole. My main point for this post is what do you get for the money you spend on a terminal and sealant? Arguable aesthetics? It certainly doesn't improve sound quality or anything. Just my thoughts though and I thought it was viable in this situation.
