skittlesRgood Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 this what you want? http://www.darvex.com/store/pc/Sound-Quest-0-4-Gauge-Reducer-19p286.htm fuck those things. anyone have any idea how much surface area you lose with those? SOlder the wire? Yeah just likE drip solder on it to hold the strands together a little bit... Or just have more patience haha drip solder onto it? so you will add to the outside of the wire and it really wont fit into the terminal.

RooTxBeeR Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I have the same thing though with my 4awg, what I did is get it in the input, screw it down then unscrew it. Pull it off and any wires thay strayed out I clip off, then put it back on and its good.

loganberry Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ive used the reducers before...cool little pieces, plus the look pretty clean too. Also you most likely wont notice any difference in loudness loss unless your a hardcore db dragger searching for every tenth...and if you were you would not be asking this question in the first place Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Another thing I can think of, is get a ring terminal that would fit on your wire input maybe? never seen or heard of anything who did that but I am guessing it should work just fine since people use them to connect to their batteries.

lapaynem4 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 thanks for the wisdom, guys. i think i will try lapaynem4's technique, it sounds the most reliable. unless there is some sort of super thin copper foil i could wrap around the end? does such a beast exist? If you dont have any thin scrap wire try wrapping it a couple times with some thin solder (.032) if you have some. I actually installed some knukonceptz 1/0 today, without this little trick 5145 strands would be a nightmare, but it was a piece of cake.
