sierra mist Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 I don't want to replace the battery post with an aftermarket connector. Should I just use a ring terminal to fit the gauge wire I am using? Might seem like a noob question but I have replaced the battery post in my previous installs. Quote
Eddy722 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Put a ring terminal on the power wire and put it on the battery... You don't need an aftermarket post.. Quote

dmanson Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 you can use the battery stock terminal but aftermarket terminals just look better.

dleccord Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 i highly recommend you using an after market battery terminal. when i upgraded both my positive and negative battery terminals, my dimming was gone; unless i'm bassing for a long ass time. Quote refs: chode69, superduper

dleccord Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 nah. not only that, the voltage in the back were within .01 volt instead of .03, so better connection i guess. Quote refs: chode69, superduper
Derrick824 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Using a ring terminal will work fine. If this is for a Tahoe (I'm guessing because of your name) then I recommend switching to a dual post battery. Use the side posts for your stock wiring and the top post to add on for you system. Quote
