[QUOTE="-unknown-, post: 8462836, member: 668393"] This is easily one of the most misinterpreted threads ever. I was trying to ask questions for somebody else not knowing what they were talking about, and people are trying to answer my questions not knowing what I'm talking about. I don't think anybody knows what I'm talking about, so let me clarify now, even though it won't help and will just get people more annoyed probably. I'm not talking about spade terminals anymore, that was a concept. The concept is to solder or crimp the bare wire into something instead of crushing the wire. Somebody suggested to me I take the plastic off of a butt connector, and solder the wire into that, then tighten the screw down on that. Their reasoning is, the metal on the inside of the butt connector, will take up the whole inside of the power and ground hole, and you won't crush the wire. So the confusion is, I was talking about a concept, or general theory, not knowing fully what the person I'm talking to is trying to ask, and I bet I'm not clearly explaining myself. Maybe I can get a picture sometime. I have no idea why people are replying with distribution block pictures, that's not even relevant. I'm talking about the end of the wire on the amplifiers end, a different connection that won't crush the wire. My "Installer" keeps arguing with me about "everybody makes the connection wrong, by crushing the wire". I say forget about it and do it how everybody does it, crush the wire, because there are no alternatives. [/QUOTE]
