DubNDodge Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Yeah, I don't think that's 1/0... unless you have giant hands. Toa ll the people saying its not's 1/0, quit being ignorant, he has a pic of the damn wire with 1/0 written on it. Thanks lol, I actually had to add the picture due to everyone saying it wasn't 1/0 when I told them what wire it was.

DubNDodge Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 My problem was always the reverse. My 1/0 never fit in the 1/0 ring terminal.... Weird. That's exactly what I was waiting to happen. I wish they would list the inside diameter of the hole for the wire. Yeah, I don't think that's 1/0... unless you have giant hands. Toa ll the people saying its not's 1/0, quit being ignorant, he has a pic of the damn wire with 1/0 written on it. He just added them Anyway, just squeeze them with a vice like you said, but first squeeze one side so one side goes under the other if you know what I mean. I've done it for some 4 gauge before with no problems. Yupp I know exactly what you mean and was planning on doing that '01 Dodge Stratass Sealed Trunk Build Log 2008 Honda Fit Sport Build Log On 10/3/2013 at 10:00 AM, ROLEXrifleman said: Anyone who says they knew everything they wanted out of life at 19 can go suck a bag of dicks cause they are lying to themselves or brought up in a cult.

I guess they haven't heard of Knukonceptz You also said they are 1/0 terminals when they obviously are not. And jeez I didn't realize you had that many terminals... If you're gonna have to solder all those, I'd try to sell em and get the right size. Yeah I should have said oversized 1/0 rt. I just figured oversized rt would work with oversized 1/0 wire. Ha I bought 30 because I figured I would screw something up along the way since it will be my first time soldering 1/0. iirc it is around 20 I need to solder.

RooTxBeeR Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Soldering 1/0 is easy, the biggest I have done is 1awg, and my first time, never messed up a single one. Soldering a ring terminal onto 1/0 is easier than soldering two 14awg wires together. Make sure your ring terminals are snug(as snugg as you can get) around the wire, not the sleeve. Hit the back with a torch and start pooling the solder into the open part of the terminal, let it cool, and presto!

Hit the back with a torch and start pooling the solder into the open part of the terminal, let it cool, and presto! I do mine until I can see it wicking into the wire and continue until I can see it at the bottom of the terminal - that way I know I have good solder penetration. Then take the heat off, let it harden, then blast the top and fill it in the rest of the way with solder so it looks nice and clean - but that's an aesthetic step haha. I can cut open one of my wires and I don't see any dry spots ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truconcept Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 u could just cut a little of the oversize off? i dont see those terminals breaking if u bend it alot **actin bad like a kid at six flags** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubNDodge Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I might as well ask these other questions in here as well since they are related. The solder needed is 60/40, tin/lead or lead/tin? When heating up the ring terminal, won't it start melting the jacket on the wire? It just seems to me that when something gets that hot on rubber that its going to melt it. Or do you just have to do everything sort of quickly so that it doesn't melt the jacket?

Nate Futuristic Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Keep the flame away a bit I used a big ass torch... to much heat for too long will cause the solder to pour out the bottom and cause the jacket to melt But there really is no science to it.. ive seen it done a few different ways find what works for you down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups ^^ Cant wait to swalllow Ghost's babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
