Chris Hammer Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I agree with with the 1st pic in only certain cases. My friends shop has a press and we have use that crimper on the press....but at the end of the day I still solder for peace of mind. Also I like using the crimp lugs to solder to. I think they are better quality then the solder ring terminals you see in those pics MY BUILD *****http://tinyurl.com/gmcbuild***** Vehicles 2005 GMC Canyon CB1000r - Currently where any future funds are going.

x91evo Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Youre surging. Add more batteries or turn your gain down.Otherwise kapoooya.How do I know? Had same problem with my 2 18s on a mojo with 1 d1400, mechman 320A.Thing wanted so much current until eventually the amp went.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathcards Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 crimped termination let me get some pics up here in 5 How did you crimp it? Or heaven forbid you try to use this... This is a crimp lug If you tried any of the above combinations, your connections are a fail. Re-do them. Either cut them off, re-strip, and solder with new terminals. Or cut them off and re-crimp properly i am guilty of a hammer flat head screwdriver and crimp lugs but the good part is i can't pull the wire out if i wanted to but i don't do that anymore skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1uwannab Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 i would also check the voltage of your remote wire if it keeps turning off after the fix ad there is no drop in voltage from the power wire just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
