[QUOTE="req, post: 772319, member: 555713"] yea, pry the crimps apart a bit, then put the wire in, and crimp it back to gether so they overlap a little, and slam with a hammer. i usually crimp them in a vice if i can. works really well that way too. the rule is - if you can pull it out, you didnt do it good enough. and the difference between KNU and weldingsupply is very subtle. knu has more strands and has pretty shielding. but you are paying for that - weldingsupply, does what it was made to do and nothing more. you can buy it in a few different colors tho. so its got a few less strands (not as flexible as knu is what that basically means) and it just has a solid shielding (with some more color choices than knu however) but otherwise, they are just as good as each other as far as elecrticity is concerned. and yea, 4 guage is practically pointless. most definatly use 0 guage, or dont waste your money. its like an extra few $ for the upgrade from 4, so just get 0.
