How To Terminate Wire, Tip Jumper Cables are Cheap, 4 To 0 Gauge

We show how we make large gauge battery cables cheap for our audio amplifiers and high amp alternator. In this Jeep, we have upgraded to a high output alternator, installed a 1,200 watt Skar Amp, and just needed larger cables to carry the current. Looking at heavy gauge wire we found that jumper cables are almost half the cost compared to jump buy heavy gauge wire so why not cut cost in our project. Our video goes over why we went with jumper cables versus just buying raw wire for our high amp project. We show how to cut and strip the wire only using the cable cutters. You never want to strip more of the wire than you need, it is easy to measure so you won't have an issue with an electrical short. The Wire Crimp Is Important When crimping heavy gauge wire, a good cable lug crimper is a must. In the past, I have used a hammer to crimp wires, not a great solution. The hammer solution has cause cable terminations to fail, would not recommend this. Get a good set of cutters and crimpers, we have a link below to what we used. Why Use Heat Shrink When Wiring Heat shrink is very important for electrical cable installations, we highly recommend it. For smaller wires, we like to use heat shrink butt and wire connectors. Not only does it protect your wires from shorting out, but it also helps prevent your cable termination from being pulled out. For a jeep, boat, or anything else where the wire terminations may get wet, this is a must.
