Silver Member Username: GibsonguyStorrs, CT USA Post Number: 173 Registered: May-08 | this is what it will look like. just doing a better job of routing the wire than this guy did. doesn't look real safe to me, but you get the idea of how it should all fit together. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/260732.jpg |

" If your battery has top posts you need one of these: http://www.partstore.com/Part/Phoenix%20Gold%20International%20Inc/Phoenix%20Gol d/TMC-24G.aspx?s=froogle Then you would need to put ring terminals on the stock wires if they don't have it already. If it has side terminals you need one of these: http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.php?productid=2243 |
