I think I'm gonna give up on car audio haha. Last night I mounted the amp on the back of my box (actually looks really clean, I'm proud of it :>
and speaker wired it, then spent 4 hours trying to get a ground wire crimped. I ruined 1 crimp that came with the kit and 2 that didnt, because I kept getting it half way there then the crimp would slip off and I couldn't get it back on without pushing half the wires down. So here's my question - Even if it looks stupid, is it ok to have a ground wire connected to the amp by its bare wires? I got it screwed down pretty well right now and there are no visible other wires where it connects.
Oh and another thing - I unscrewed a seat bolt and sanded the washer and metal where it bolts onto, only to find out that it's too big to fit around the bolt. I was gonna drill it out, but my cordless drill ran out of power, then I couldnt find the charger, so I got the wall drill, and i couldnt find a gosh **** extension cable. Same thing with the dremel. So I'm goin to a friends house tomorrow. But the question here is - is it ok to drill out a terminal to make it a little wider? I don't see why it wouldnt be but just in case.
oh yeah and to the soldering thing - I don't have a torch :
I've never not connected wires to my amp by anything other than bare wires. That's absolutely fine.
Hell, I've even gotten lazy and connected my power wire to my battery by bare wires haha. Just jammed it into the terminal with the wires going to the car itself. Hey, it held strong for over a year //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
