speaker terminal size?

drballard33

I am very new to mobile audio and I was installing some db651's and noticed one terminal is smaller then the other, does anyoen know the size of this terminal or the right size cable connector I need to buy for it? the wiring on my boat for both + and - are the same size so I want to replace the terminals with new ones.

Thanks

The difference in terminal size is only to distinguish between positive and negative. The larger terminal is the (+) positive, and the smaller is the negative (-).

18 gauge cable would be suitable for your application.

The cable connector itself is imply a female spade.

If you have a radio shack around...
-- 1 package of these will give you all the little ends:

-- 1 package of these will give you all of the larger ends:

... about 5 bucks total for both.

Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for. I knew the difference in size meant but wasn't sure of the exact size I would need.

Thanks

The small terminal is .110 and you can use a .250 for the large. A .187 might work for the large but the .250 will be just fine..
