blcrocker Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I forgot to order some spade terminals with my wire and the wire itself wont fit into the power input on my amp. I have some aluminum sheets laying around that i would think would be the perfect thickness to make my own spade terminal. Would it be a good idea to go ahead and make them out of the aluminum? Im only making two, one for the power and one for the ground connections on the amp.

DHFHades Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'd ssay a dremel and pliers will take a while, but should be fine Quote 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Pioneer DEH-P2900MP, Big 3 done in 1/0, 1 run 1/0 ran to amp DAT HF1000.1 #007 powering a DC lvl4 15 DAT HR 4085 prototype powering 2 Selenium 6s and 2 no name tweeters running active 1st place in AS3 @ Surf City Sound Off, 140.8 @ 45hz @ the headrest. rebuild coming soon to get a better score "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail.

rusty959 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 have a rabbit? those little fers seem to be able to make quick work of about anything.... lol. anyways, yea a dremel should be able to eventually do it, a spade isnt that much different than a ring. good luck.

blcrocker Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Well while in the garage i found myself some copper tubing that would be perfect for this since it already has the round shape I need. I already got two of them made within minutes. Just polishing them up and getting them ready to make a good solid connection.
