what size ring terminal opening?

[focalrock4life 0]

I am about to order some bulk 1/0 ring terminals from Darvex but they have two different sizes. one is 3/8 and other is 5/16. I just want to verify what size fits XS power battery terminals? I will be using them to wire together my batteries and to upgrade my ALT ground to my BATT ground (which is also XS Power). I cant remember for the life of me what size I grabbed before

Thanks.

Just get the 3/8". If you need, you can add a washer.

well that brings me right back to where I started lol 1 to 1. I guess either will work but will "fit" but there be a difference in performance?

[liljestrand 244]

No. Ones just 1/16th of an inch bigger.

well yea but If I got the 1/16th smaller ones and the bolt wont go through the hole. there in lies the problem.

I guess I just answered my own question get the bigger of the two just to be safe..

3/8" ftw

I always get 3/8" Every time I get 5/16" they never fit right.

You do have a drill right? Drill out the hole if it doesn't fit.

Indeed and Metra is a pretty solid for accessories so I was happy with the buy. Now for the 12 AWG speaker wire..

[bassahaulic 155]

I LOVE the Rockford speaker wire.

What you using 12awg for? Doors?

[focalrock4life 0]

No lol 2 18's. And I love rf wire too. Got 2 51 foot spools of it. One power one ground. So the 12awg will be rf too. I'll probably buy like 50ft and have extra.

RF speaker wire is sexy. Just is $$$

Yea, when compared to knu or something like it. I'm sure the pc-ofc drives the price up. But I figure ill pay the increase for a better quality copper. Will it make a difference? Don't know. But it can't hurt right? Lol
