Battery terminal to add amp?
So I've decided against messing with the stock sub, gonna remove it and install my Alpine MRP-M850 and 2 old MTX 12's I have that are taking up space in my house. Wiring will be 4 gauge I have a bunch of it lying around. I did search but couldn't find anything helpful, every car I had before was side terminal at the battery so I just added on ring terminals, but I'm looking for a top post terminal with a few outputs to replace the stock one. Can anyone post up what guage the stock battery cables are or what terminal they are using? I'm not planning on adding a 4 channel or any accessories anytime soon so I need a post 2 spots, one 4 gauge and one that will fit the stock positive cable.

they are small and very secure on the terminals
if you need more connections just pick up a longer bolt at a hardware store

I think the stock wireing is 4 and 2 gauge ( maybe ) . When i did my system , i bought all new terminals from Knu Konceptz . Cut all the old crusty battery clamps off and put the cables into the new ones and then connectedthe amp cable to that as well .

You can see what i did with the stock cables on the battery post

So when I opened the JL terminal and looked at it, the opening is way too small for the stock battery cable, sucks I already opened the box. I wound up using a ring terminal on the stock terminal bolt, no issues.

there are plenty of ring terminals around (crimp, or crimp free, all kinds of sizes and shapes)
in 3 out 4 of these JL's that's what i ended up using
the hole in it can't take anything over 4
in some cars like my Ody there are 2 ground cables on the terminal, one of them small enough to go in the hole, the other needed a ring terminal
sorry it didn't work for you
