Ryan314 Posted June 3, 2007 CID Share Posted June 3, 2007 Not too sure how this amp/ or whatever it is works. I have some pics of the input area. Looks like it would take regular speaker wire but at the same time it doesnt. The hole in the input is large and theres like spinning things almost as if something screwed into there?

resopalrabotnick Posted June 3, 2007 CID Share Posted June 3, 2007 looks to me to be the sub of a x.1 rig. so you need to run the speaker wire from the x.1 amp to it. the spinning thing is probably some kind of clamping mechanism (like a drill chuck?) to hold the wire in more securey than those plastic clamps. just turn it leftwise. that will prolly open it. insert wire and turn right. if i'm right you should feel some resistance starting as it clamps down.

I also thought it was a tightening mechanism, but when I looked closer there doesn't seem to be any thing that tightens. I turned it and nothing clamped down. Im figuring it may be some kid of cable that screws into there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just so you have good contact and don't blow the thing up because you caused the positive to arch with the ground how many watts is it?

cmoore2004 Posted June 4, 2007 CID Share Posted June 4, 2007 Some of those plugs have spring resistance instead. Push to expose the hole, insert wire, spring resistance keeps them there.

php Posted June 4, 2007 CID Share Posted June 4, 2007 if you unscrew the plastic part a ways, you will see a hole through the screw towards the base.. stick the (stripped) wire in there and tighten it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill try it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted June 4, 2007 CID Share Posted June 4, 2007 sounds like you're screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill try it later. Nothing is suppose to happen. They do not come off. You put a striped wire in the whole at the end and turn it a few times to tighten it.

I didnt mean something was supposed to happen, but im pretty sure you would see something opening and closing as you spin it no? I havent tried it yet due to a current lack of speaker wire.

I havent tried it yet due to a current lack of speaker wire. You wouldn't see anything. Its too small. A peace of metal clamps on it you can't see it.

Ryan314 Posted June 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 17, 2007 Yeahh haha, All you had to do was wrap the wire around it and screw it in no mechanical enclosures and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
