Bayuk89 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 Battery lug rings "Car audio" rings Im adding a second battery in my truck tool box, dont know if there is any pros for using copper battery lug rings over "car audio" rings other than to copper battery lugs are much thicker than the "car audio" rings.... I know alot of people use both styles, care to educate me ?
Esgedi Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 One's used in industrial applications and UL listed, the other isn't. Lugs are the real deal, those ring terminals are just cheap garbage. They do the job, sure, but when the good stuff doesn't cost much more, just get the good stuff. Don't trust a shop but you personally just smoked two decks, makes sense. 03' Trailblazer LTDayton Designer 6.5"s & Silkie tweetersDayton Audio Ultimax 18"Pioneer 9601 & 8604XS Power D34002 runs 1/0Singer 250
Kayhub Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 Just get the battery lugs well worth the little price difference.

RooTxBeeR Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 I like the lugs because it's easier to put together, I don't have any type of press so I cannot really use the other ones to well. The lugs, heat it the fuck up, fill with solder, and bam your done.

You'd have more power to throw at your woofers if you weren't going through thin, high resistance tinned ring terminals and high resistance power wire. My point still stands. You can be totally content with the cheap stuff, that doesn't mean it's just as good though. Buy nice, or buy twice. Don't mean to offend, i'm using CCA wire, i just acknowledge i'd have more voltage going to my amp with OFC, meaning more voltage across the rail, and more power.
