hey guys, Im currently wiring up my amp, and I have come to connecting the smaller 'O' rings to the 12+ posotive and the ground terminals (which have the gold screws and plate things on) and Ive found that the 'O' ring is exactly the same size as the gold screw on the terminal and is almost impossible to slide onto, am I connecting it the the wrong bit? or does someone have a picture of where exactly the rings are supposed to go onto the terminals?

I really need your help with this guys,
thanks

if they dont fit.. cut um off and crimp the right size spades onto the wires

okay, could i use a fork connector which is used for the remote wire? also how would i crimp it? would i need a special tool or anything?

yeah ive got the fork connectors on mine.. works perfectly fine

you can get a special tool to crimp.. but if you dont want to spend, a pair of plyers will do.. just something with a scissor type action, but not sharp..

then i wrapped with a bit of electrical tape for added strength / protection from wires touching

just use a dremel to modify the connectors to fit, drill the inside of the hole a bit bigger if needs be, theres always a way round things
