good point.

I thought about doing the very same.

The problem is that MGM sticks its head in the sand; i told them there is no way the 3.5's are capable of handling the 160A oif current. His answer was simple; You don't take 160A continues from the controller so it should/would be fine..

In my opinion you don't rate a controller for 160A if the plugs are only capable of a rough 60-100 A..

The problem with soldering the wires directly into the 3.5 female plugs (i asume you are planning on doing this?) is that the entire circuit-board needs to be on a fair high temperature to melt the tin completely. You don't want any cold solderpoints on the controller (or any of the powerboards that are connected thru the sockets)
