Looking for a 1/0 awg ring terminal, I don't want the ones that are crimp on style since I have ran into problems with them before.

Looking for this style if anyone knows of anything:

you could pretty much go to any stereo shop. They would either have them in stock, or get them in. These sre great if there is no movement in the cable, otherwise I find that you keep having to check them to make sure the set screw is tight. Quite expensive too.(compared to the crimp ones anyways....)

We carry both styles. The crimp on units are $5.00 each, but the Streetwires units are $40.00 a pair. We like to solder for ensured reliability and longevity. If you'd like, get the exact sizes that you want rings on, bring them to our shop and we'll solder them up for you. How many do you need?

Incorrect I have been to about 5 shops and no dice :( They all have to order them in and it takes to long to order in. There will be no movment in the cable at all as the cable will be firmly secured :)

I would be in need of 5 1/0g of them for my project! You like to solder the no crimp units? I have heard of people soldering the crip on ones (i have done that in the past myself) but not on the screw on style!

We solder everything! You should see the poor cat from next door. :haha:

When it is soldered, it has a better chance of doing it's job for a longer time. We pull the screw out flame on and drop the solder into the hole. Just before it solidifies, we insert the screw. It's there for life!

We have that many in stock and are willing to open a package for you to get the odd number.
