4/0 Accesories?


Recommended Posts

Hey, I'm about to order 25 Ft. of 4/0 gauge wiring and was wondering where I could order a battery terminal to hold a 4/0 wire and a 1/0 wire. I have the big 3 done in 1/0, but am upgrading my power wire because I have some cheap crap in there now. Also, I was wondering if there is a place that makes ring terminals for 4/0 wire? please help :-)

i am makeing the ring termanals for my 1/0 wire with pieces of copper pipe.Measure the diameter of teh 4/0 wire go to home depot or lowes  bye about 1 foot or 2 feet, then cut it into about 1 1/2 inch peices anduse a  vice the flatten one side and drill the hole through it  AND THERE YOU HAVE IT

Very much appreciated. How would I secure the wire to the battery though? I'm not the most up to date with electrical crap.

i hope you don't just have a 1000 watts amp running with that 4/0 gauge. tell me you have like 4 Rockford T40001bds or something. people don't just find the biggest wire they can for least resistance. they do it because they are pushing a lot of juice and with 4/0 gauge you're talking over 20,000watts RMS

Not necissarly, At Florida finals ALOT of people were using 4/0 welding wire. In classes where batterys and amps are limited getting the most power to your equipment is important.
