4 gauge wire falling out

[alex1002 10+ year member]

Good Day,

My ground wire which is nicely connect to my amp keeps on coming out after a while. Do you guys have any terminals or anything you add to the ends to keep it in place?

I made sure the wire is stripped long enough and nicely screwed tightly into the amp. but keeps on falling out.

Thank you

Wire ferrules are used to provide a solid end for the amp to connect to. Just get the right size and it should work

I only use Ferrules now. Once it's in it's in.

Never used Ferrules and never had an issue with my wire not wanting to stay in my amps. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

What is the wire gauge?

Is it possible that a small wire gauge is inserted into an opening designed for a large wire?

Maybe the screw is stripped?? How is it falling out once it's tight? There's more to the story your not telling.

Do people not read anymore? What does the thread title say?

I should clarify I never had a problem with wire staying in, it's usually getting it in. I have some 4 gauge wire that is as think as 2 gauge welding wire and it has trouble going in to amps with a 4 gauge opening. All I needed was a ferrule and never had that problem agai.
