Yes, just quickly tuned it up. I also put an o-ring under the plug to make sure there are no air leaks.

Finished, went for the Speakon in the end. Great quality connector, very happy with the end result. Thanks for all the input everyone.

Thanks so much for the replies, just to confirm, it is for the connection from the amp to the sub.
I'll look up Speakon connectors.

Hi all, I am wanting to make a quick connection for my sub as I want to be able to easily remove it if I need the trunk space. It is a single 12" running of the bridged rear output of a xz475ti, i.e. 250W RMS. I purchased an XLR connector and socket as pictured, but am now worried, will this ha...

An update on this thread.... this is my amp, and last night we confirmed that only the right channel is affected. Currently the sub is running of the left channel only, and it seems to be OK (albeit lacking in power).
