Looking to clean up my cables to the battery from my winch.
Where can I find something decent for the 4 gauge wire?
Tried Pauto, crappy, part source...   Any electrical shop someone can recommend to find larger terminal ends?
thanks

I don't know if soundsaround would be good enough connections, but I have bought a number of battery connectors for car audio big enough for 1 gauge wire.  Gold plated and all...!

crappy tire has 1 or 0 gauge wires already preterminated at different lengths priced accordingly ( i think 36" long terminals at both ends... $18 )... only problem.... available in grey only

food for thought :wink:

Please excuse my hijack: What is the proper way of attaching the terminal ends once you find them?

Here in Lethbridge, Auto Value had by far the best selection.  I think they had the best prices as well.  If you have a Club Membership to a Vehicle Club, they will give you an additional 5% off.  You might have to push this one though since the employees here don't know about this.  Just tell them that its next to the Seniors Discount in their book under the til.
