I like the ones with the little bracket that pinches the wire with the 2 bolts on each side. That way the main cable can go in there. And I can add ring terminals to the 2 bolts that hold the bracket to pinch the main cable.... Or get an aux fuse block so you only have the couple connections at the positive terminal.

That is what I have currently. The 1/0 terminals don't fit side by side so they are on top of each other 90* off. The rest of the connections are on the other side. I had to get a longer bolt to fit the 1/0 terminals. I flipped the bolts so the top of the bolt enters the bottom of the battery terminal. Then when I was tightening the nut on top of that bolt, the bolt stripped the hex shaped bottom so now it rotates. Thinking of maybe doing a washer to keep the bolt out of the battery terminal underside. But I don't know yet if there is enough space.

 

Buy a new set of terminals. They're like 15 bucks. Those will work. Use a star washer for better connections. And grind the paint off the red part under the cap. Than use the terminal spray to keep corrosion out. Mine has been that way for 10k miles with no issues.

 

Another option would be to get a bus bar and power the bus bar and connect to that.. Than you will have studs for each individual connection.

 

I LIKE THIS Style and most stereo shops have them in stock.

Ya you're correct. Should just replace them and not worry about it. Thanks!

That's planned for auxiliary stuff. I'll have to see if I can do anything with those bigger terminals.

 

Right on man. Sounds like an easy fix for ya.

 

I have me some PROs on me truck I love them.

 

Because I work in an industry that sets it up you could use a digital wallet (Apple Pay, Android Pay) on your phone and you are never stuck again.

 

Oh that's how that works!? Good to know haha

 

Thats science.

 

How the hell do those work? I see some places saying they take Apple Pay, but do they like scan my phone or???

 

Pretty much. I dont trust any of that shit though. People are like, no way man, its totally safe! Yeah well people can hack the pentagon, they can hack my phone too. Everything is done over some kind of Wifi and is easy to hack, but then gain so is your card. You re all fucked and doomed to hve your money stolen at east once. Keep it in the mattress,

 

It's true. I work in an industry that protects credit card data and certifies the companies that store, process or transmit said data. You'd be surprised at how poorly secured some companies are in the storage of your credit card or personal information. Apple/Android pay are actually both reasonably safe however, Google(a client of mine) and Apple both take their Security very seriously and pay millions of dollars a year to outside consultants such as my company to certify and run monthly penetration tests on their environments.

 

Wanna hook it up with a job lol.

 

ha ha, what do you do? We actually are hiring consultants (QSA's) and Pen Testers

 

That was a blessing in disguise now come on.
