I believe your interloks work by unscrewing the piece on the bottom, threading the bare wire through the bottom ring into the upper portion and then screwing the bottom ring back on.

No instructions? Here's a case of RTFM... (and that's SUPPOSED to be sarcastic... not a slam.)
If still loose, then I'd say you got the wrong size for the wire you have.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Did you try adjusting it with your poundometer? Maybe solder it?

poundometer....the things you learn on the 12Volt.  dangerranger96. try stripping back some more of the cable? you need enough to fold the wire over on the sleeve. Then feed it up into the ring and tighten!

thanks tune man... that worked, unfortunately, after i got that working, i found out the terminal was too big to connect to the post terminal... so i had to go with a lil crimp on piece... oh well ------------- 97 F150, Sony CDX-M630, Sony XM-2165GTX, JL Audio 12W3D2, Planet Audio VX-602, Memphis 15-MC5.7
