LMAO
I bet it could look pretty cool though. USing the Spark plug things he was talking about. It woudn't affect performance, but it could look great if done properly.
I'd really like to see a picture

My camera took a crap so i can't show you the set up. yes I use unfused dist blocks. like I said before 4awg in one side of the block and 4 8awg out. yes it's overkill, but WTF I like it. it works great, and it made using 8--12" subs on 1 amp alot easyer to wire up. that's the main reason I invert my subs too. easy to wire up. no holes to drill in the enclosure, no terminal cups to install. no leaks.

um... yeah, guys it the SAME as running them in parallel... just pretend your amps are SPEAKERS, and hook 'em up... works just the same.
You COULD, if'n ya felt like it, even use fused distro blocks, and protect your woofers... Been there, done that. Ohm's law will tell you what size fuse to put in.
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."

one thing to keep in mind is that look at the terminals on the sub, then look at the size of cable that runs to the voice coil, over the spider.... that size is it ? its not 8ga is it? ... then there is no advantage to running larger cable to the woofer otherwise they would have used it on the woofer from the terminals to hte voice coil...

but yeah it looks cool correct cable - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.

I never said thier was an advantage to running 8awg wire. It cost a bunch more for one thing, but I don't care it looks cool. That's the only reason to use a 8awg wire for a sub. 12 to 16 awg would have been fine, but I don't care it looks cool. The 8awg wire, the 8 inverted 12's are all over kill, but I don't care it looks cool. It slams pretty good too.
