raw wire=low restistance...keep it simple

Take 3 ft of wire on a direct connect sub, measure resistance. Take the same 3 ft of wire and put it on a sub with terminals, measure resistance. Get back to us and post the data.

(That's my subtle way of saying go try something for yourself rather than spewing out things people tell you that sounds good.)

think about it...get the resistance through a 3ft peice of wire..then cut that wire in half and put a common connector on each each then take the reading again..also solder is not nearly as good as raw copper.and irrc solder is the way that most companies use to connect their tensel leads to the push terminals..so just remove any and all possible resistance and youve got a better connection for running high power at lower impedences.btw i have no problem proving my theory but im stationed in Flordia and have no means possible to test this.but u can sit down,think about it,and im sure after many hours of head scratching ull understand

You aren't worried about any slap w/ this design?

thats the same thing that came to mind, maybe it wont cause them to break loose since the wires seems pretty tick than just regular and the angle they have might have to do to help them go with the flow :bigclap: but other than that I LOVE THEM!!

x2 ...hmmmm...that looks likefc28c598.gif

OK, I just tested this and I am getting a very small difference between 8AWG wire solder to the tinsel leads and 8AWG going to the terminal and then the leads. All testing done with no coil attached.

i hope u are not testing just by measuring resistance only...u NEED to measure it in a power application. Why? because wire and wire terminals. when heated, will raise resistance. since wire and wire terminals are not the exact same material and surface area, they will exhibit different resistances and this will probably only be seen and measured at very high loads such as 60A and higher.
