Wiring a sub box?
What is the best way to run wiring into a sealed box?
Drill a hole and run the wire through it?
Drill 2 holes, split the wiring?
Buy an premade connector and mount it on the side?
My thinking is to split the wire and drill 2 smaller holes and then seal them with silicone. Less chance for air to escape with 2 tight fitting wires.
Am I way off here?

Any method works fine although I do the binding posts for boxes that may be coming out frequently.
My favorite is to put a couple of bolts through the box that have about six or seven threads outside the box and bolt the speaker wires down.

either method would work well GP, i wouldn't use the terminal box unless it was fabed into the box (aka premade) even then i'd probably take it out.
Drilling two holes sounds like a good idea to me though...less chance for air, although splitting wire isn't the most fun afternoon sport...lol...
are you going to use any sound deadening in the trunk?
Smooth.

I like anything that uses the KISS system. [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]

Yeah, I put a ring terminal on the wire(s) from the sub, put it over the bolt, put the bolt through the hole, put a nut on the end, put the wire from the amp (with a ring terminal) on, then another nut. You can use lock washers too for extra security.
