I've realized that most of you don't use terminal cups for sub boxes, are banana jacks/terminal cups a potential power robber?

I was told that with every connection you make in your line you'll drop a bit in power. Obviously not a lot at first but make a couple pointless connections here and there and you'll see it go down. And Banaynay clips are pinner, give'r beef!

I used to run straight wire but now I use big bolts. They're much easier to hook up or swap amps.

Absolutely. Every connection makes a difference. I have done what Digital Designs has done on my home speakers, made a big difference.

It is a catch 22 of convenience vs total pain of removing items in a car as far as this goes.
