[QUOTE="XanderMoser, post: 3321569, member: 574859"] To put a ring terminal on 0 gauge: -Strip about 1/2" of insulation off the wire -Cut a piece of heat shrink (make sure it fits around the sleeve of the ring terminal) about 1.5-2" long and put it on the wire, slide it out of the way -Open up a bench vise about 1/4", enough to seat the ring terminal in the gap of the vise -Put the bare wire into the ring terminal -Use a hammer and a chisel, hammer the center of the sleeve of the ring terminal to clamp the wire inside the terminal -Now lightly clamp the terminal inside the vise. -Use a torch and heat up the sleeve of the terminal, careful not to set the insulation of the wire on fire -Shove solder into the sleeve of the ring terminal, while keeping the torch on it just enough to keep it hot enough to melt the solder going in. -Fill up the gap with solder -Wait a bit for it to cool off -Slide the heat shrink over the sleeve of the ring terminal, center it between the terminal and the wire -Use a lighter the shrink it down on the wire [/QUOTE]
