Make your own ring terminals

Recommended Posts

Cant find the inline holders, like in your second picture. link?

Balls, I had a brain fart. I bought the fuse holders here.

It is easy to get them confused, one is Impulse Electronics the other is Impulse USA. I have bought from both companies numerous times and I definitely will buy from them again.

:roflmao: you said balls :P

That works as well! thanks for saving me a couple dollars, if shipping is worth it. These don't come with fuses? :(

Buy the fuses there too they are dirt cheap.

They come in one of those unrippable bags, then just a plastic bag inside of that.

I need fuses though, dont want to burn my car down lol.

But that would require more ring terminals and more wire :suicide-santa:

For some reason, there are still lots of people, some of whom should know better (shop owners/installers and such) that just keep telling people that they need a capacitor. Not that this has anything to do with you and your setup, just something I've noticed alot of lately. I've heard it numerous times, so many people still believe in 'em, it's sad really.

They have their purpose, just not how these shops are advertising them most likely.

Never got an email saying how much shipping was from either company, but one did email me saying it was shipped. About 10 words total. :ughdunno:

I bought into the hype years ago and installed it when I first put the system in my car 5 years ago... Never saw a huge change, dimming slightly stopped at mid volumes... lol ... I have a second battery I just got too lazy to install...

Hey, i had an idea to check my junk mail. Everything was sent there, weird cuz' i got one email from a company in my inbox, and the rest went to junk?

Shipping on the 20 ring terminals is $5.20.

Couldn't see the shipping on the fuses and stuff, but if going by my credit car statement it's about $10 for 2 1/0 ANL in line fuse holders and 2 fuses.

Work great, just as expected. Thought the shipping was kinda' high, but that doesnt matter considering the price of the terminals themselves. Ill order from them again.

I have used that style before, they are hugh! Been thinking of trying these. They are not to eye appealing and of coarse they require more ring terminals. :(

If you're looking at them for the little price difference remember to add a dollar or two because of this ^^. But if size is a concern they seems like a good bet.

Shogen, these are about average size, as far as im concerned. My knu fuse holder is about the same size, but over double the price :suicide-santa:

lol.... I bought 6 of them and I'm like where the FCUK am I going to fit these....

Also, I have a different 0awg fuse holder under the hood and it's nowhere near as big plus another one from darvex which wasn't as big either... anyway, so I wire it up and put the fuse in after it''s connected.... ?
