and for the 1/0 terminals, i bought some fo the samesize, but we were able to open up the terimanal and put the wire in and then crimp it down with no problems. the boxes SHOLUD be done tonight if my dad actually gets to it.

but the biggest issue with this install is that i installed the amp upside down, lol. this won't be a huge problem will it? its only temporary until i decide on an amp rack but still.
You're not surpose too... It could (and probably will) run hot.

radio shack actually sells gold plated fork terminals.. they may work for ya if you trim the wire a little bit.
best saw for 1/0AWG would be a bandsaw.

:P.

i think its knu koncept'z fault for having big ass wire or something. i can get the wire in but it doesn't want to stay in...


btw, while we're on the subject, whats the best saw for cutting through 1/0? (joking, lol). i thought about a dremel but i figured it'd chop through blades.

edit: btw... the title was supposed to be f!@#ing alpine... i was just lazy. i'm damning my amp not the entire company :P
