Shenker Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Curious what size dies you guys are using for oversized (SHCA, Knu, Etc) 1/0. the kit im looking at comes with a 50, and a 70 among a bunch of other irrelevant smaller sizes (although it looks like I might be able to make some purdy 12g crimps with them haha) is the size 70 die going to be large enough or will I have to order a larger tool? -If its loud, fast, outrageous, or all of the above, chances are i'll think its awesome. -"No way he's OCD." -said none of the people that know me ever. 04' Suburban "Lucifer" A.K.A #Lucii (Under Construction) 4 10s on 4kW in 6cu net @~28hz /////Alpine Crescendo KnuKoncepts Optima SHCA Build Thread 92' JDM 325i "Stella" ~Going for sale to build a 350+hp E30~ Gutted pipes 96,000 OG KM's (59,000 mi) -System Removed- 1 10 on 1kW 89' Gen 3 Honda Prelude SI AWS "Odis" Bone Stock Possibly going to stance it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Crimping is the way to go IMO. I bought this 6 ton mechanical crimper off amazon for around $100. It works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works really well. You cut the little fins on the side off after the crimp huh? I didn't like the idea of losing copper so I just rotated the lug and crimped again compressing it all together so I got to put all of that copper to use.
