if the o-ring terminals are big enough you should be able to pry them open with a needle-nose pliers, then crimp the wire. if not you could always get bigger o-rings.
the easiest thing to do would probably be to just run the wires directly to the amp (i'm assuming this is for an amp if it's 4 ga. wire...) and skip the o-rings. just don't get the wire strands all f'ed up and tighten them down good and it will stay in just as good as with an o-ring.
also, you should learn how to solder, it's very useful at times... my friend fried (or thought he fried, anyway) a 12" infinity sub and gave it to me, the only thing that was wrong was the tinsel leads became desoldered from the terminals heheh i like free stuff
