Bass4Lyfe Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 bangin - i like your idea. it's like a combination of all of the above steps. i'm so tired out but i will make sure to get that done - probably tomorrow if not saturday. i like the way you're thinking about it. yes, i do already know that thanks though because it is REALLY important. time to fire up the BIG solder iron. (my dad owns it idk what its for but the thing is huge) Quote ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Go to your local electrical wholesalers, take 2 small zip ties with you. Buy a 50mm^2 (don't know imperial) copper joining tube. Bare about 2/3" of each cable then put a zip tie around the loose copper and pull it as tight as you can. Push the cable in from each end, sliding the zip tie along it as you go (helps you get all the strands in, see) Clip the zip-tie off then push the cable in that last little bit and make sure it stays there. Then go grab whatever the shop has for doing hex crimps - most of them will let you borrow it for a minute if you bought the crimp there. Then throw a solid ass hex crimp on every bit of the copper tube and tape that bitch up. You can use heatshrink if you want it to be really tidy. The join will be electrically like welding the cables together... if you ask really nicely and they have a hydraulic crimper you can put in a crimping die thats a little too small for the tube (after crimping it once with the proper size) and crimp it again with that - these things put so much force on the crimp that the strands and the crimp fuse together into a single lump of copper. Just make sure the crimp doesn't break apart, which can happen with dodgy dies or if you're just unlucky. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas702 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Don't forget if you are using 2 different brands and one has a bit more strand count than the other, use the side with the more strands closer to the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Johnson Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Wow Boon that is an awesome idea. I may have to see if that will work for me next time I have to do it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
