I currently have the Stinger SPX700X4 and I am thinking about rewiring the speaker outputs using a 2 - 4 pin or 1 - 8 pin Deutsche, Molex, or Packard Weatherpack.

Is there any issue regarding volts or amps if I were to use one of them?

My current connectors are waterproof solderless butt connectors and currently there’s been no issues. If I want to swap my amp out this seems to be a much easier and cleaner solution.

Thoughts?

 

Anyone using Posi-Tite or Posi-Lock connectors for connecting amp speaker outputs to speaker wire?

 

I personally use the absolute least amount of any connectors. Every connection provides another possibility for failure, especially on a motorcycle with bumps and vibration.

 

Don't ever use Posi Locs or whatever they call them They Cut into the sides of the wire and make the wire diameter smaller. Either solder or use a crimp style connector.

 

I prefer soldering the wires and cover it with heat shrink tubing.

 

I've used them on multiple bikes with no issues. I will be using them again when my BMW comes in. Want to be able to directly plug in ear monitors and skip Bluetooth, but also want the ability to play through speakers if I choose to

 

Yes, I have used them on several vehicles but for other projects.
I found them to be a quality product and available in different sizes and formats.
They do not make weaken original wire and are rather strong.
There are some you tube videos that show their performance.

 

For most wiring,I would not use anything but Posi Lock....or Posi Tite connectors. Match wire guage , they are available for 18-20 gauge up to 10 gauge

 

I don't use any type of connectors from the amp to the speaker, I leave it as one complete wire. I use wire ferrules on the end of the wire going into the amp and whatever connector matches the speaker terminals. I know folks like soldering the speaker wires to the speakers but I have never had issues with properly matched terminals. If I change speakers I just unplug the wires from the terminals and plug them up to the new speakers. I live in the country with some seriously bumpy roads and have never had any connection problems with this method.

On the few occasions when I have swapped amps the wire ferrules were in good enough shape to just put them into the new amps terminals and screw them down.

 

I agree with Hoyt. No splices if possible and I always leave a little slack so I can redo connections easily. I've never used Posi-Tite but they basically seem like an inline version of a Marrette. Never had an issue with any Marrette I've used but then again my household AC connections aren't subject to the same vibrations or environment of a Harley.
