KickerKid58 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 first off, does anyone know where i can find some relatively inexpensive wire loom? Ive been putting off the +run of my big3 cuz I want to make sure the wire is protected from the engine heat. I've done some research and every place ive looked its pretty much as much as the wire itself... Also does anyone have any good techniques on how to crimp 0ga wire terminals? I want to do this for my +run as well seeing that my pos run on my last car somehow came out (even with a surprisingly good solder)and ended up frying my alt 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2 DC Level4 12" Soundstream TA1.3000d 4 RF Punch 6.5" Components 2 RF Punch 3.5" 2-ways RF Prime 400.4D XS Power XP950 +&-run of XScorpion 1/0 OFC My Civic Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Shouldn't need wire loom. My 0awg runs right next to my header and has been that way for 2 years. I just check every once in a while to make sure its not in direct contact, then it could melt. For crimping, get on of those hydraulic crimpers from harborfreight.

KickerKid58 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Ok I wasn't 100% sure if I really did need the loom just more or less skeptical about it. That crimping tool looks nice! I'm assuming that'd work fine for most basic connectors right? And I've used the vice for crimping 4ga before, works but I'm not a huge fan of how it looks (kinda ghetto ass haha) and idk if it would work as good for the 0ga. i might see if i can find a few scrap pieces layn around and try it...

AMI CUSTOMS Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Darvex for crimps and loom, I use loom makes it look cleaner.
