well my buddy had some fawking kid install his system and he cracked his negative battery terminal, my guess would be tightning it to far, but the car turns on and runs, and the terminal is real snug on the battery, i told him id ask you fellas what to do...

obviously its gonna need to be replaced but will it be fine for the time being?

As long as it doesn't fall off it's safe.

i would do it as soon as possible, should not take to long and only be a couple bucks from the parts store for one.

I just did the exact same thing. If you get a new terminal take some pliers and squeez it together. Dont just put it on the battery and tighten. I would replace the terminal for round 5 bucks.
