JNells Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 It's 2/0 shca Pretty sure he's talking about the run of 4 gauge to your amp... All that 2/0 under the hood is negated by the 4 gauge as I said before... Strange duck has also been chiming in with some valid points and questions too... Just saying we've given you answers to your questions/issues or at least told you what to look for... So it's on you to take that advice and do something with it. Malibu Build Log
Grant Whalen Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Posted May 26, 2014 Yes my crimps don't look right I know I'm on a budget but I'm trying to get the best if what I can I don't have bench vises torches or anything I took a steel punch and hammered it through the middle as a crimp would do with one of those things and hammered it down . Yes I understand this looks and sounds stupid but it works and hasn't failed yet
thefourth Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 Solder it up man, might cost you 15$ for some solder and a mini torch. In my opinion it's worth the piece of mind knowing you're not going to have loose connections. Loose connections are going to be more prone to short/ground out or even cause a fire. Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.
Jessica Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 its easy to get excited and want to get your system playing. i have been there done that. I have just stripped wire and stuck it under a bolt for a ground. Be patient, make your termination correct. You have a good chunk of money invested so far, why risk burning it up and then wasting all that money when you can spend $50 on a good crimper from harbor freight. http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Grant Whalen Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Posted May 27, 2014 I'll drink to that duck! But as far as everything goes so far I'm going to get the crimper. I also am buying a new car which means I am going to make this project a REAL project take more time and slow down and really make everything the way I want
