x2, i was wondering about that too, I think I see them without the fuse too, couldn't you just stack up the wire terminals and put the bolt over them?
Wait so you're saying I DO need the after market battery terminal but I just don't need the fuse? If I have the fuse does that mean I don't need an inline fuse on the power wire? What happens if no battery terminal? And using a battery terminal doesn't that mean there's no use for the ring terminals?If you wanted to be super-ghetto-fabulous you could.
You don't have to buy one with built in fuses. It just makes everything neater under the hood. You do need an aftermarket terminal though to fit the new wires you just added.

Ohh okay, I'll probably just pick up a pair of battery terminals too..in which case I won't need those power wire terminals because I stick the power wire straight into the battery terminal right? Also, so if you get a fuse on the terminal does that take care (so you won't need) an inline fuse near the battery on the power wire running to the amps?again, depends on the type of terminal you get. You stock one probably isn't going to get the job done is what I was saying. You still need a fuse on your main power line to the amps and the alternator positive to battery positive. You just don't need it built into the terminal.
http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=FH-20where is the best place to get an external fuse holder for 1/0 gauge wire?
Thats a pretty big fuse holder.
I used 1/0 awg from KnuKonceptz. I do have 14.5 ish volts running accross the poles on the battery, and it only drops about 1 v when it hits.... but it does result in dimming. Come to think of it, the lights dim ever so slightly, for a split second when I use the power windows too (without the stereo on). Do you know if Partsource does free electrical system checkups?
how much 0g wire should i buy for this whole project, for a 95 accord?
