Oh and heres the video alot of people were asking for on soldering.

Looks like half the time it's making a cold solder joint. Need to heat the medium, not the solder itself... I always heat the bottom of the ring terminal so it draws the solder in correctly. I have no doubt your connections are secure, just an //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif to those less experienced or who don't solder all the time.

Also, soldering the ring terminals on does add resistance, as solder is not as conductive as OFC copper. That's why NONE of the top competitors, with dozens of runs of 1/0, chasing those last .1dB's, none of them solder their connection.

Soldering a terminal on may make a more secure connection, but it does add minimal resistance... something that people chasing tenths would notice.

I tried soldering,and i did it just the way your talking about and it messed the wire up,it draws the solder in too deep and it goes down inside the wire where its still jacketed and if makes it discolor and deform and looked like crapola..but thanks for the input for whoever will be chasing them .1 dbs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Yeah, I normally head the back flat side of the terminal... like right below the ring hole... and try to watch the jacketing at the same time... taking away the heat as necessary.

If the jacket gets ugly, that's the the rubber sleeve/grommet will cover up for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Looking good regardless, I'm waiting to see this come together on the inside!

LOL I EPICLY failed at solderin on my buddies truck so after the first one i just smashed the test of the terminals lol.But this guy did electrical work before so hes soldered thousands of connections.

and thanks man,i cant wait either

 

[98HOEONSIXEZ 10+ year member]

more custom splitters LOL

this was going to my subs,steve miller sent this to me,it was like 2 12g wires wrapped up in one wire and then but connected and 16 or 18g wires ran from there to my subs...:rofl: how do you run 10-12k watts thru there? lol im suprised it didnt turn that wire into a fuse

 

[DB-Audio 10+ year member]

12g on your subs? wtf man that shop really didnt know what they were doing i hope your going to upgrade it to 8g wire

your right

and more pix

16ga for a D9??? Wow...just wow.

Looks like its coming together very well.

Any chance this will be playing by EC SuperShow in Jackson, Ms on the 26-27?

I'll be there w/ the van and would like to hear your vehicle.

So you went all Tsunami on the 1/0?

The van is all Xscorpion, its amazing wire the the price.

Hope to see this vehicle in Jackson.

The van has all the bass you could want (capable of 148-49 @ 20hz), but I really need to get some mids/highs in there.

Its only running 1 DDz2hv and 7 hc16v batts
