Looked around a little bit, couldn't find anything. Just a simple question, is it alright if I use 4 gauge terminals with 4 gauge wiring? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but just to be safe should I buy higher gauge terminals to make sure I'm getting full power to my subs?
Thanks in advance! |

4ga is just the size of the wire and terminal. Unless your talking about the quality of the gear, there's no such thing as a 4ga terminal being 'good enough' for the wiring, because it's referring to size.
If you have 4ga wire, you put a 4ga (or larger, to a point) terminal on the end of it. Look at the size of the wire, if the 4ga terminal fits, all good! |
