For years, I have just separated the wire into basically its own spade terminal, then crunched it down. It has worked well enough, but most setups I have done have been 8 gauge wire to each amp. Now I am running 4 gauge to each. Is a spade terminal good enough? The connecting space seems to be significantly down from the size of the wire. Does anyone know of a heftier spade terminal?
And the ultimate question of the thread, am I worrying about nothing and the spade terminals will be just fine?
Thanks,
John
