    Making OWN GROUND WIRE KIT.

    I wanted to ask if anybody had the link to the mini - 4 gauge wire kit set. I think someone posted this a while back and it had everything (almost) needed to make your own wires.

    I found the round ended link terminals at radio shaq and I can pretty much get wire easily.

    My question is, what type of vice crimp exactly do I need? How much will it cost?

    Can I just use pliers?
    hahahahah

    Use some crimpers, not those radio shack kind that have all the different holes for different types of wire, meaning strippers, with pliers your gonna have a hard time and you still wont have a good connection, it will loosen up eventually and might come off, just go to home depot and get some kline crimpers there about $20 bucks or so, they are worth the money so if later you have any other type of work the requires cutting or crimping you will have the tool

      To crimp mine, I stuck them in the bench vice and flattened them out. They're not going anywhere :P

            Does that work though? I'm still a bit unsure as to how to link and crimp the 4 gauge wires onto the loop hold terminals.
            hahahahah

              not those, have you ever gone to a stereo shop and see the tool they use to crimp, its like that but it only has the teeth to crimp, it doesnt have a lil holes used to strip wires

                If you guys can find a picture it'd really help. But I'll check out the shops and ask, but I don't know if car audio shops will sell crimpers.
                hahahahah

                        IMO, its usually cheaper to just buy the kits off ebay. They are obviously really cheap, and come with a distribution block.

                        Only reason to go custom would be if you couldnt find a color you liked or something. I ended up making my own, and it was a pain, and more expensive.
