[QUOTE="Lurius, post: 2114059, member: 564618"] To really clamp good its wise to get a clamping device, like one you hammer on after inserting the wired crimp. Im lucky enough to have a father who has access to a hydraulic crimper at his work lol.. But for the 4 gauge stuff I just take a hammer, lay it on its side(nice big flat surface, then trim the wire, stick it in the terminal, set it on the side of the hamemr, thn take another hammer and give it a couple good whacks.. works great. My dad is an electrician by trade, and programs/repairs robots that build cars, so this technique has been proven time and time again to not **** balls, or be as ghetto as a concrete floor technique lol. Crimp it well enough and soldering really wont make any noticible difference. -Lurius [/QUOTE]
