rockFord_Expedition Posted September 22, 2013 Report Posted September 22, 2013 How would you go about preventing corrosion on theses things? I am going to have one on my alt output stud, one on the alt case, and a few attached to the frame for grounding. Just some grease? Flex seal? Looking for some suggestions/ideas here Quote Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire

SnowDrifter Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 ^^X2 tinned copper ftw. You can put some sort of silicone grease on it. Should help with keeping out moisture I seem to recall Jon talking about tinned lugs some time ago Quote ~~~~~~~~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

Pioneerchuck Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 I would recommend the Tinned Copper lugs. I got the tinned copper 1/0 lugs from a solar company for about $1 a lug. And then I soldered everything for that much better of a connection and to keep the wire from oxidizing and the copper from corroding. Quote

Rmichael91 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 I'd just use some dielectric silicone Quote
