Very nice, glad to see braces. Did you just ask if you should soulder or crimp... .Ummmmm if you won't have the subs for a bit, and want to be pro, SOLDER. Not even a question. :) I think anything above 8awg should be soldered. Just my opinion...


Yah, thats what i was leaning towards. Im gonna grab some silver infused soldering wire and a can of flux and to that tomorrow.

My dad had some 8awg silver infused speaker wiring. About 60ft of it from back in the 80s. I have my speaker wiring with 8awg. :drool: winn

i wish i had silver speaker wire its like 10% more conductive then copper. Would cost a fortune now.

What im trying to find atm is a battery terminal with two 0 gauge inputs one from alternator and one from the amp and then and then another set of 2 4 gauge inputs all together in one unit. My car has all sorts of extra wiring because it has the police package and i dont know what half of the shit is.

My subs have posts so i need the other types of terminals. I actually just got back from ABT electronics a giant electronics warehouse and they had one of these which will work perfect. I got exactly what i needed since i need a 0 gauge in from alternator and the amp and then another for other accessories.
