Amp Power and Ground wire connection help.


Recommended Posts

New to Forums of any kind, I love the support I see here!!! Let me know if I am doing something wrong.....

I have a question I have been searching for answers and recommendations for a while now:

I have a Kicker ZX400.1, it has a terminal that can accept up to a 0Guage wire, but I am using an 8Guage kit because I don't really need the 0 in my application. I don't think this amp would benefit that much from the upgraded wire.( I know it would a little bit).

My question is this, to make this connection what is the recommendation?

a.) Just stip back the 8 guage and screw it into the terminal.

b.) Strip the 8guage and tinn the end, then screw it into the terminal.

c.) what I did, Crimp and solder on a ring terminal then cut off the ring and insulation, then screw into the terminal.

What are the thoughts and recommendations?

I would have first used the wire the amp recommends to be honnest. Them from there just strip the wire and stick it in then tighten the screw
