sven6977 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 This is a very good point.... i have had to cut 0awg before... but its always a pain in the ass... What do other people use? I have found a metal hand saw works good... haha I got a bolt cutter that works mighty fine. Got it for like 18 bucks at Lowes. It also crimps pretty well, but I just solder my leads on anyway Rowan University Electrical Engineering LINK TO MY BUILDDDDD Current Setup in my 00' Hyundai Accent: Pioneer DEH-P6900UB RE.6.5C AUDIO 500w 6.5" COMPONENT CAR SPEAKERS Eclipse SE 6500 (6.5 coax in rear deck) two Kicker C124's in a t-line tuned to 28.6Hz Kenwood KAC-7204 US amps 1600.4 V2 Upcoming Build this summer: T-Line enclosure for two C124's tuned to 28ish hz O_O amp my speakers with a US amps 1600.4.

Robert8252 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I use some tin metal snips. Got them for about 15 bucks at Ace. Cuts through 1/8 aluminum like paper and 0g wire like a scissors on cardboard. 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastehog Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Some may argue that stinger is better because it has more protection.. Lol. I personally prefer Knu 1985 Chevy Silverado Black and Silver SBC 350/700r4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spl4life Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 i use knu as well... only thing that bugs me is that its mostly aluminum vs 100% OFC...nonetheless... good stuff... Haha after looking at all these wires and stuff i have realized...i don't have a tool that can cut that thick of wire. Nor do i have the money to go out and buy one. =[ Branch Cutter FTW!!!! works like a charm... My first truck...
