Problem - Amp wire keeps disconnecting from Amp

[Alpine2Infinity]

Hey guys,

I've got a Alpine MRP-M600 mono amp with a 4-gauge wiring kit and ever since I've had it installed roughly 2 years ago the main two wires that go to the battery always disconnect after about a week or so and I'm sick and tired of trying to reconnect them to the amp.

I'm probably not doing something right so for better clarification of the problem, here's a photo -View attachment 26525676

So what's the trick here so the wires don't fall out anymore? I tighten down the crimp as hard as I can yet they still come out after a while...

Solder?

just stick the wire between the two pieces of metal on the amp and screw it down...

solder it to the amp terminal then.
