What to use for this?

My remote wire is always falling out of my amps be cause the wire is so small and the set screw for the remote wire is big. What can I put the remote wire in, and then put the other end of the thing into the amp? Thanks.

Man - how small of a wire are you using?!?

My remote turn-on leads are small (like automatic pencil-lead thin wire....28awg or smaller) and I don't have any trouble with the wire falling out of the appropriate terminals on my amps?

you could just crimp your wire to a mlae bullet connector and slide it in, they are only like 3 cents a piece if you go to a hardware store that sells them cheap.

That's a pretty good idea.

Ya, that is what I usually try to do.
