Quiet Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, mathewyocham said: Your gonna love it. I just ordered one, but it apparently won't crimp oversized 1/0 from what I read... I think I might end up selling this and getting the 16 ton version. And I was excited, too... Haven't even receives it yet. Wait and see. Edited January 8, 2017 by Quiet Ninja'd Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.

Miguels Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 same.. 16 ton comes with a lot of the dies Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 some of these have metric dies that arent a great fit when you find the equivalent AWG terminals. I have the metric one and i would recommend getting the AWG one Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

corey0928 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 It's probably because car audio 1/0 is bigger than actual 1/0 is supposed to be. Had the same issue when I bought mine. Ended up giving up and returning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 i use a bigger one to crimp then move to a smaller on.. it worked for me Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkarredSierra Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Ive only crimped 4 gauge knukonceptz with mine but there are several larger dies that should fit fine on 0 gauge. Idk about bigger than that tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Ive never had an issue. 1/0 with 50mm die and 2/0 with 70mm die on the 16 ton set. 2/0 70mm die would probably work well for 1/0 car audio wire with ~5000 strands where as 1/0 welding is more like 1 gauge. Picture I attached is EB Flex 2/0 (68mm cable) with the 70mm die with 2/0 marine lug. 2 Quote Best Score to Date : 160.5 dB Outlaw (47Hz)[4 XM 15's & 2 Taramps Bass 12k's] BL : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147800-chevyboy95s-4-15s-7krms-wall-1533-db-on-half-power/YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/hitemwiththeflex/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
