ok now i don't knwo what these things are called but on my aq subs i had to solder the wires from the sub with my wires going to the amp other than having like a push button thing to put my wires in.
i am really wanting to be able to get something like that so i can change the ohm load for comps to daily.

Just take a trip to your local hardware store. They're not hard to get.

I hope that was a joke but i don't think so.....

A soldered connecton is superior to anything else.... but not practical in this case..... the best thing for this are "quick disconnects" from radioshack. They crimp on the wire and you push them together. Makes a secure connection and you can literally change connections in a second.

Sure soldering would be the superior connection if you're using the correct solder and actually know how to solder correctly. But in this case, you can't beat a direct copper on copper connection using wire nuts with some electrical tape wrapped around. It will be far superior to a shitty crimp job using male/female disconnects and also doesn't take that long to remove and rewire.

Umm no they're definetly not

Because crimping a good connection is hard......... or not. I use those everywhere I need a removable connection.

^^ I've used them for my components and many other things. I still don't like them. Just whatever floats your boat, M.S.
