Hey guys ......what kind of setup did you use for the battery connectors??? Pics would be sweet. I am running a Kicker ZX1500.1 amp to 2 L7 subs. I'm running 0 gauge wire I have from the the battery to the amp for power and am considering changing the terminal connectors. Is the factory positive battery wire 1 gauge??? Or what gauge??? What is the little black box on the positive side to the other power wires? A fuse box? Is it needed?
What did the big players do here?

Hey SuperFly....nice install pictures...great job. But I didn't see any pictures of your battery connections? How did you connect your power line. Again, I think I am going to need a new positive terminal connector that can handle 0 gauge and the factory positive cable.
I believe the factory positive cable is 1 gauge....does anyone here know for sure?

Ah bugger, none in there?

My install wires were 0 gauge and I didn't need anything. Usually the amp install kit comes with one end of a the power lead that has an o-ring like connector. I just undid bolt that locks the positive terminal down and put it on there if I remember correctly. The bolt that I am thinking of has two parts to it between the nut and the base. You should be able to slide the o-ring part of the amp wire on to the post and rock and roll.

I would just go take a new picture for you except I traded my camaro in. Let me look back through the pictures to make sure what I'm saying is true.

All examples of what you can do it you want to hook up both the amplifier and factory battery cable to a positive post.
