Wiring and fuse question. HELP!!

[Trepkos 10+ year member]

Trying to install the AGU type fuse in the 4 awg power cable....

But everytime the cable keeps sleeping out of the holes...

Never installed a fuse before....and I cant find any place online to tell me how to and the product didnt have a manual.

U have to loosen up the bolts first, and u have to have exposed wire. The wire on the left isn't cut yet (u have to cut the surround and stick the copper part of the wire into the hole) than once the copper part is in u screw the bolt back in securing it in place.

What tool is physically small enough to loosen that screw?

allen keys

looks to me like a allen tip to me. They should have those tools at any hardware store, even at autozone or pep boys.

lol...

Allen wrench....they screw those type of bolts..any keys with an hexegonal hole is for allen keys

Ok, screw is loosened but the chamber is not large enough to accompany the copper wires and still slips out...

it looks like there's spacers in there to make 8 gauge fit. See if you can pop anything out of the holes where the wire's go, they look too small for that 4 gauge. There's probably a couple of small metal rings in there...check

Removed the spacers, worked fine now.

How gay, 8awg spacers for a 4awg kit.

Ok new questions...

How exactly am I suppose to attach the gold plated terminal to the wire like this:

What tool would I need?

How come the gold terminal that I am guessing is suppose to attach to the amplifier does not fit the socket of the amplifier?

I use a crimper for down to 4guage, larger than that I use a flat head and a hammer.

You dont have to use a connector for hooking it up to the amp, just use the same method you did for the fuse holder.

yeah man it's the same thing, move the screw up, stick the wire in, then screw it back down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

and for the first thing, the ring terminal, 4 gauge is kinda big for a crimper (unless you have a heavy duty crimper) so I suggest a flathead screwdriver and hammer. Crimping is a ***** and unless you've done it before you bound to mess up so make sure you have a couple extra terminals. They are like 3$ at any hardware store if you screw it up so don't worry //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hammer that sh!t...ring terminal just smash and bash

and dont need that plug in thing for the amp...just use the raw copper form the regular wire
