Ok so I've been working on the truck upgrading to 0 gauge. Im to wear all I need to do is put a terminal connector on the 0 gauge so I can hook it to the +. My problem is I have no solder and have never put a 0 gauge connector on. What do most people do to crimp it? Im currently searching the site to see but wanted to make this incase yal answer faster than I can search. Thanks guys

I have a crimper i use. Then solder.

lol well I dont have the crimper (ill invest in one soon) and I ran out of solder so thats out of the question. I have an extra terminal connector so right now I just want to make it work so I can test everything out. My connectors are the ones that meet together on the top, it isnt a solid piece.

Use a hammer. Ive done it before for testing. Bash the crap out of it and then use some black tape. Its not something that is meant for permanent use, or looks, but it gets the job done.

insert wire into terminal. slam hammer on terminal. tug on it to make sure solid connection. and some electrical tape on top to make it look nice.
