so then you just have to vise and solder. even if i had a proper crimper, i would never leave it at that. solder is a must, for me anyhow.

See the line in the middle of the terminal. Take a Allen key - 1/2" - put the key against the line and put it in a vise. Lock them in so they don't move. Put the wire in the hole and start cranking!

If you feel it's not tight enough solder it!. Wrap the wire before the tip with a wet towel so you don't over heat and burn the jacket!

btw it might be cheaper for you to go to Car Audio Haven in milton( main st) old location of Perfect Tones than spending gas money and time driving to crimp them here... crimp will only cost you a coffee but the time im sure is worth more

That’s amazing I never thought of doing it that way. I was also thinking you can put half the terminal in the vise and only clamp down on one half then put it in the clamp sideways (seam facing up) and clamp them together where each side of the seam overlaps each other then poor the solder in.

I hope I explained it right. The idea is to make sure the seam doesn't line up so with the clamp you can squeeze and overlap the wire making it tight.
