afrakes Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 First, please DO NOT go off telling me why crimping is bad, and I should invest in solder. I'm aware of the decision I'm making and don't need to explain myself past that. my question, I need a crimper capable of crimping 1/0 Knu Kandy Kable. Any recommendations are welcomed, but trying to stay under $100 for a quality piece. Also, do I need to buy special lugs for crimping? Or do the basic lugs off of knus site work fine?

oldsoundguy Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 There have been some good threads about crimping lugs on wires. Most like them so you wont get any crap about it. Someone even did a cut through of a crimped lug and it was like a cold weld and solid all the way through. I just might pick one up for the next time I do wiring. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/

CleanSierra Posted May 29, 2014 Report Posted May 29, 2014 I crimp as well^^^ No need for solder when you have a good crimper. It saves a BUNCH of time being able to crimp also. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
madnking Posted May 29, 2014 Report Posted May 29, 2014 Bough a crimper from harbor freight for 56 works well crimped 30 1/0 ring terminals with no problems.
afrakes Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Posted May 29, 2014 Right on thanks for the support guys. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on that 16 ton crimper listed above. Vehicle: 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD WT Head Unit: Pioneer DEH- Mids/Highs: Focal Integration ISC 165’s (front) Subs/Amps: TBD
