alright how do i get the ends off the groundwires so i can cut them? they are pinched on really tight and i need to get them off so i can trim them to the right length.
thanks

 

well i wouldnt re-use ends like that. usually you just cut the ends off and use new ends. if you want to keep the length take a grinder or a dremel if your not very balenced and cut the sides off to free the wire. someone may say a screwdriver and hammer to bend it open but thats going to destroy the connector and make a mess of the wires for sure so you might as well destroy the connector and salvage the wire by cutting the connector in the first place.

 

where can i get the best end connectors?

 

Any local audio shop will have these.

 

I hyper grounded mine and never had to cut a single wire I even add a voltage stablizer without any such trouble.
