Ring terminal to big to fit into amp....now what?

[papadye 10+ year member]

Well, the ring terminal on the "power" and "gorund" wires are to big to go onto the amps terminal...

What can i do/use to make it work?

Do they make rings that are big enough for a 4G wire and still have a small "spade" part?

I dont know if this makes any sense or not //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

uhh, what amp, why not just insert wire??

instead of using a ring terminal use one of those U terminals i think that would work beeter for you as they have a bit of flexability to them

ring terminals aren't meant to go into amps. use spades

Cut them, Cut a section out of middle, Bend it. Make a u shape. There you go! lol Might be ghetto But still better than jsut throwing wire in there
