[QUOTE="k2exoman, post: 2624930, member: 550927"] This may be a dumb question, but i think it is a valid one. What is the proper way to use ring (or spade) terminals as far as connecting the terminals to the wire. I have been told most people crimp them, i have tried this from two approaches. Using pliers (as a crimper) to pinch the open end around the wire, leaving the back end uncrimped, and crimping the entire wire receptacle flat. Both techniques seem to allow the wire to be able to wriggle out of the terminal with minimal effort! How do you reccomend connecting the wire? Do people solder or weld? Is there a special crimp tool I am missing? This question is specifically in regards to wiring the ground on an amplifier where the terminal is a high quality ring terminal with a sealed receptacle for the wire (not a pair of flimsy wings as on some terminals). Please advise... Thanks.. [/QUOTE]
