[QUOTE="-unknown-, post: 8461921, member: 668393"] Why do amplifier manufacturers not make the connections where you can hook them up with ring terminals or something? The way they're made now the bare wire gets crushed by the screw, and it just looks like it isn't a solid connection, or a professional install. Maybe this amplifier will explain better in pictures than I can in words, look the the side with the power, ground, and remote wire. This wouldn't be my choice of an amp, but it's the only one I could find that looks like its made so you connect the wires a different way, like I was thinking. It says it connects with spade terminals. Another example would be the other end of the power and ground cables near the battery, they're soldered into a ring terminal, then a screw goes through that, through the battery terminal. Maybe this is a stupid question, maybe not, I just want to know if anybody has an answer.
