So far I've purchased:
10 ft. 4gauge Monster ground Cable
Zip ties
12 4gauge ring connectors (crimp-on)
I've got a few questions about putting this together:
Soldering
When I asked about soldering this stuff, the guy at the audio store told me that I'll need a cheap butane torch ($10) to melt the solder and run it into this hole:
Can I accomplish this with a regular soldering iron? Crimping will work, but to make a good connection, I'll need to solder AND crimp. (obviously, I'll be removing the hard yellow jacket). Is there a certain type of solder I should use? (this is probably one of the first times I've soldered)
Heat Shrink
I found heat shrink that is 1/2" in diameter, and shrinks to 1/4". The 4guage cable is 1/2" in diameter. Can I use this heat shrink?
Dielectric Grease
Is it alright if it comes in contact with the rubber heat shrink?
Thanks,
