ben1994 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Does anyone have an opinion on them? There are alot of brands that make them (raptor, tspec, xscorpion). Obviously they are more expensive but could they have a negative impact on your system in any way? Price is not an issue, just dont want to use them if it could raise resistance/cause any other issues. http://www.amazon.com/T-Spec-V10-RT804P-Series-Nickel-Terminal/dp/B00DX64OJQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 They can loosen over time and come undone causing a possible fire. The rocking of the engine will cause the wire to move ever so slightly and loosen, so you have to tighten them back up every once in a while, you'll be better off crimping lug on the ends of the wire to ensure they'll never come loose. Electrical is one place you cannot cut corners and cheap out, do it once and do it right, your life depends on it. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 If price is a non issue, invest in a 16 ton hydraulic crimper and buy tinned copper lugs.

liljestrand Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Like n8 said they are really bulky. I agree with snow. Buy a crimper and crimp away.
