chimera Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 hi everyone! I was looking in to getting a d6500 battery from xs power but i couldnt find no information on if the 551 i-bar would fit the battery? has anyone with a d6500 battery put one of those 551 i-bars on their battery? i wanna know because i have a couple of grounds and power wires to my current stock battery side terminals and im sure that they wont have enough moving room to reach the top of the battery.

chimera Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) thanks a bunch baaudio. i appreciate the pic and quick response. but dang... what would work for a side terminal adapter on the d6500? do you think the kinetik KHC-SPA side post adapter would work?

chimera Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 think that i bar can be modified to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baaudio Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 If I was gonna make it work what I would do is use a buss bar like piece to put under the adapter and bolt into the d6500 terminal Quote Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeAlLsTaR13 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 the ibar wont fit because the ibar has a special tab that falls into a slot (on ibar fitted batteries) to allow if to stay into place and remain secure, so theres no modding you can do to get it to fit really, all you can do is contact tool maker to have custom terminals made up Quote Team Sundown Audio**CURRENT** -- 2012 Scion tC Build Click Here **OLD** -- 2002 Pontiac Grand AM Build Click Herecheck them out, slap me a comment2002 Pontiac Grand AM SE 2.2l 4 cylinder ecotec.-------------------------------------------------------------------Head Unit - Alpine CDA-9887Subs - 2x Z 12 v.2s - v.3 + NS Soft partsAmplifier - Sundown Audio SAZ-3500DEnclosure - 3.33 Cubes tuned to 34.66hzFront Stage - JBL P660c 6.5" ComponentsRear Deck - Powerbass 4xl 6.5" Mid-RangeFront Stage Amplifier - Sundown Audio SAX-100.4DWires - Kicker Hyperflex 1/0, KnuKonceptz 1/0, Knu 4 and 8 Gauge, Kicker RCAsElectrical - 275 AMP DC Power H/O Alternator, XS Power S3400, XS Power D2700Videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/BeAILsTaR13------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickass audio Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Just a suggestion for the OP but have you traced the wires to your fusebox and your starter to make sure nothing else was connected to them (idr what the stupid things are called but its like a clamp that goes around the wire that will detect your current draw and change your vehicles charging voltage to conserve fuel). You can always just take the stock cable and get some 4ga and run that to the stock locations and mount it right on the top terminal of your d6500. Something else you could do but i really wouldnt recommend it would be to get something like a fuse holder and a bit of 4ga wire then chop off the stock GM connector and put the gm wire into the other side of the fuse holder. That would work but i feel uneasy about that for your starter. edit: dont get the i-bar for it either. you CANNOT modify the i-bar as the part where the i-bar comes into contact with your battery terminal has a indentation and it will not line up on your battery nor will it have a solid connection. As BeAlLsTaR13 mentioned the i-bar has a little slot on the top of the battery that holds the i-bars into their slots so they cannot move around or get shorted out. You can do like i previously mentioned or contact tookmaker to have a custom side bracket but idk if he has anything he can do for it because the GM connections are not 100% flush and require lead to be on the face of the connector so that when you screw in the terminal it will "sink" into the terminal to prevent it from slipping, without that soft area of the metal your connection will not be strong and may heat up.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 If you are just looking for extra connections you can use the iBar 556 on the D6500, but as has been said the D6500 is not set up to work with side posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
