Ok guys so i need soem ring terminals for an install im working on this weekend and cant seem to find them.... I checked home depot and champange sounds up here near me....

Here is the list of what I need and if anyone knows where i could find them please let me know.....

All the following are for 0awg wire...
Ring terminals for 1/4" 5/16" and 3/8"
Also need even smallersize if possible: about 1/8" and about 3/16"

what would really be god is if anyone sold 0guage ring terminals with no ring drilled in them yet.... just a round piece of metal on the end so i could drill the sizes my self....


I had another question if I cant find these, could I use two washers and place them on both sides of the wire and tighten everything down nice and tight? would that work in place of those terminals or something else? I really need to get this done today or tomorrow

 

walmart does my 4ga terminals, for 1/0ga ive always used press down terminals and never needed a crimp =/ try orchard supplies

 

what exactly are press down terminals? and where is orchard supplies?

 

Im assuming the amp has screw terminals for 1/0ga wire and the fuse block should also ave screw down terminals. and the wire itself should be wired to its own terminal at the battery - the terminals usually crimp the uninsulated wire with bolts.

If you have other aplications then I couldnt imagine but keep in mind that a 3ft segment of 4ga wire can handle 200 amps without any real resistance so alt to battery and gnd to chasis dont need to be any bigger than 4ga unless you are pushing 1500wRMS+


orchard supplies is in california but they do mail orders. I dont have the link as I havent used them in years but im sure you can google it.

 

alright thanks... i managed to find all the terminals i needed, and i switched to using 4awg for the alt to batt, i am still using oawg for ground, only because i have close to 26ft of it, and not much 4awg left

 

*edit* I'm stupid and didnt read your post closely **

 

got all the terminals im using at home depot
