i hope this is the correct area to post this

For HIN and DUB we can't have batt's connected so have to run power from the wall to a dc converter power supply to run everything. my problem is how do i hook it up since most of my wiring has "rings" to hook up to the terminals? because i need to figure out a way to run the 4 gauge wire from the power supply to the other wiring (wiring for HU, 4gauge power for amp and the 10gauge wiring for the led's, which all use ring connectors) any help asap would be appreciated so i can get the proper configureation set up for the show in 3 weeks

thanks,
-chris

the converters that i use have a place to connect ring terminals,,, if you dont have those availiable, rig something up that will hold all connectors and connect it to something you are able to run to converter...

you can do it....

oh ok, damn i wish mine did. mine takes 4 gauge wire, that's why i didnt know if there was a way to make my own "terminal" to connect a ring terminal from the power supply to the ring terminals of the other sets of wiring and have it work and/or be safe?

any idea of if using maybe a nut and bolt as as a "terminal" to connect the power wire from the converter to the power wire of the led's?
