bperboy Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Head-Case DIY'ers, I've got a quick question on wiring for neatness. What is a recommended method for tying two 18awg cables from a transformer into one quick connect terminal? Should it be a short piece of 18awg cable soldered to both at one end, adding heat shrink over the junction? Thanks, bperboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Using a quick connect terminal that allows for 2x18AWG wire diameter input, Really, that's the best way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Definitely. Tying two 18AWG into one will constrict the bass. Everybody knows that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_kai Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 You can also get piggyback or side by side quick connect terminals if you want. Like stuff here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/118/764/=hcgrcp. You then put a connector on each wire from the transformer. I would go with luvdunhill's way though.
