Post by ttocs »

I am trying to gather the last of the little shtuff I need for my install and I am down to the speaker connectors. I would like to get a good quality gold spade but want blue and silver/black boots to go over them. I can find anything I want in red/black but nothing in blue.... Anyone else got over this hump? Anyplace you can order just the boots?

Why do you need spades and boots.......thought you were using the roadster?
Those tender little burgers with them little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in ya mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one.. just makes me want to burn this muthafuka down.... Come on, Pookie, let's burn this muthafuka down!!!

I am, I took it out an looked at the power connections the other day but not the speaker, are they the same? That would be cool as I do not really like using spades....

SAWEeet! I have never been a big fan of them. I like the way they look but they are just anothe connection that can fail or develope corrosion over time. I am not building this system so that it will develope strange gremlins 3-4 yrs from now, I would rather have these connections.

Now for the next question. I am keeping everything in the system in an easy to remove theme so i can take them out if I need to service them or go to the track, or even just drop it off at the shop. I did this last time with the amp rack with 2 - pin hrns's that I went down to fry's electronics and picked up. Now that I am in the midwest I do not have that option, does anyone know where to order a solid 10 pin hrns for something like this? I need a good connection and although it does not need to be waterproof they tend to be the best connections from what I have seen. It will need to accomodate at least 12 gauge wire, maybe 8 for the subs. Anyone orderd somethin like this before?
