Cardboardcat15 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 If I couldn't use a hydraulic crimper, I would solder. No other way I would crimp wire. My Channel on YouTube.

ch0sen Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 use your hammer crimper, then solder it, or just solder it, its the cheapest way by far. and it holds up very well.

siucsaluki11 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I use something similar to these http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=360-624&utm_source=googleps cuts the wire, and there is a bump on the back for crimping. I usually crimp one side down, then the next then one more time in the middle for good measure. Never had a cable come loose on me. woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

JacobB89 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I use 12 ton crimper well worth every penny Big Wheels Are Like G-Strings...Anyone can put them on but it don't mean they look good..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 The tool shown by knowledge is the industry reference for large gauge crimping. They are not inexpensive. That being said, hammer crimpers fall into the "indentor" tool category. When properly used, these tools work VERY well. Just ensure that you drive the indentor into the side of the terminal that is OPPOSITE the seam. I must say, I am not familiar with the tool shown by AMI Customs.
