Battery Terminal Help

[PhillBoy20XD6 0]

The other day I notice my voltage meter running a little low while driving but didn't follow up and a day ago I wake up for work and guess what not even the fuel pump comes on the battery was so dead and after a good hard look I find that my new terminal for my positive post isn't really clamping tightly so I wanted to ask as to what kind of gear people are using and are happy with. By the by I had this hooked up click here thanks for any advise. Btw I have top post on a red top yes I know I said red top but its what I had on hand until I get a different bat.

forgot to add that i am running 1/0 through the power so I was thinking of these http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/1547156/vpcsid/0/SFV/30046 with these http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/1547183/vpcsid/0/SFV/30046 on my wires

I would save the money and just use regular copper lugs, unless you really want the bling factor. less than $2 vs. $8.

how much for those terminals GrandPrix? They look great but if its a good amount then i may go copper lug which is where I was about to go until you showed up with those. However I may or may not feel completely comfortible with those under hood I just dont want the hood grounding ;p

Most hoods offer plenty of room, my current battery is 2-3 full inches taller than what it calls for an I've stacked up another inch of terminals on top of that, no issues whatsoever. If you're looking for a secure, economical solution, solid copper lugs (ring terminals) will work great, not as pretty as custom machined aluminum but less chance that a wire will come loose and short out.

yeah its not a huge concern being that there should be clearance but man those blocks look awesome can't wait for grandprix to get back to me about the price.

Hit up Audioanonymous or Toolmaker as they are actually the guys who build this kind of stuff and can get you a quote quickly. I just ordered a set of aluminum dual inputs from Toolmaker this morning.
