Wire ferrules are extremely important! Love using them. Everyone always complains in the comments saying “why didn’t you crimp” when they don’t understand that the set screw basically crimps it for you

Hogwash. Why are they extremely important if you have all of the wire strands tucked in, and screwed down tightly attached. Half the videos on KZread is selling shit you don’t necessarily need.

He did it all wrong lol didn’t crimp the ferrule to the wire just being secured in place by the heat stink bad information

"basically"? yikes! please crimp, loose connections cause heat and eventually fire! not to mention the fastest easiest way to strip your set screw on your amp! and we know that isn't fun at all!

⁠@@flowshine74the set screw does the exact same damn thing it would do if it was bare wire. BUT when the wire ferrule is used, it contains all the wires and gives the set screw a solid place to sit. The ferrule is made of very thin metal. You can squeeze it together with your fingers. Therefore, it’s not gonna strip your screw. Every single professional car audio installer used ferrules in this exact same way unless it’s smaller than 8 gauge wire. And there’s a tool that crimps the ferrule and wire into a square for smaller wire. This is the absolute best known/cleanest way to install amp wiring

​@@gaurd3if you're doing one n done then sure but alot of ppl change shit up on their build and taking wire off the amp and reinstalling will rip strands off ruining your connections, wire ferrules make sure thats no longer a problem. It's kinda an obvious purpose to them honestly

Interesting I’ve been a lineman for 6 years, I’ve never seen someone put a ferrule on without crimping it first! I understand you thinking that the screw will suffice with crimping to the wire but that is just not the case it needs to be crimped along the entire barrel before putting on heat shrink! Otherwise you will have a terrible connection or even worse that positive slips and shorts from line to ground and you need a new fuse!

car audio fabrication’s video on ferrules has done everybody a disservice. “set screw crimps” are useless, loose, and dangerous. don’t compromise your equipment- use ferrules as they were designed to be used and CRIMP. it’s so cheap nowadays.

Awesome. Can I use wire ferrules on amplifier input reducers?

did this exact thing on my first install on my amp thank you

I have a 2021 Mazda 6 with a factory Bose system. No one can seem to tell me how to get a sub and speakers in my car. I’m not a radio guy but three shops can’t get it right. What are they doing wrong. Please help

They just need to tap the in line converter to the Bose system not just the speaker wires

To keep my car stealth I kept the nine speaker Infinity sound system. I just used an audio control line out converter from the stock sub wires. Removed the stock sub itself and then ran RCA's from the line out converter to an amp. It's possible that the signal coming from any of your speaker wires isn't sufficient for some reason or another due to the stock DSP but it should be possible

Buy an LC2I or and LOC and T Tap into rear deck + and - left and right, run a remote from fuse box with a fuse that turns on and off with the car, set up electrical from battery

I always crimp the wire in the ferrule with the amp screw before shrinking the wrap down to make sure the screw doesn’t pull the ferrule out of the glue

Thats cool but i prefer the wire reducers imo

There was a lack of crimping...?

Now what about those amps that use stupidly small insert holes for the wires? Or the ones that require the screw to be threaded through all the way?

You should always ground your amp before adding power

Where to get the fittings at?

Mine keep falling out but my wires don’t hang out my amp like that 😭 people just strip them back little much,.. and keep them twisted

What if i need to wire two wires to the same port ?

would not be surprised to find out that using the set screw on the amp to "crimp" the wire ferral is what caused yours to be stripped. I don't know what you do about that on an amp so I'm no help, sorry and good luck my friend

You forgot to crimp the ferrule, also using a good copper infused grease like Jet lube prior to the ferrule installation helps inprove conductivety and corrosion.😏👍

Terminal of the amp does a great crimp and crimps based on that terminal type. You shouldn't have any corrosion at the amp unless you have moisture leaks in vehicle.

But, you didn't crimp the ferrule???

Terminal creates the perfect sized crimp.
