It looks like you have a collection of battery terminals or connectors in the image. If you're looking for advice on installation or troubleshooting issues related to car audio systems, here are some steps you can follow:

1. **Identify the Components**: Make sure you know which terminal is for positive (+) and which is for negative (-). This is crucial for proper installation.

2. **Preparation**: Before installation, ensure you have the right tools, such as a wrench or pliers, and avoid working on the system when the car is powered on.

3. **Installation**:
- **Disconnect the Battery**: Always disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent any short circuits.
- **Connect the Terminals**: Attach the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal. Ensure they are securely fastened to prevent any disconnection during operation.

4. **Check for Corrosion**: Inspect the terminals for any signs of rust or corrosion, which can affect performance. Clean them if necessary using a wire brush.

5. **Test the System**: After installation, reconnect the battery (negative terminal first) and test your audio system to ensure everything is functioning properly.

If you have specific questions about these components or need assistance with a particular issue, feel free to ask! Other members in the forum may also have valuable insights to share.

What's the voltage of those and what is the final voltage you are trying to achieve?

It’s for a Stetson 8k 2ohm amp.

Those are capacitors, correct? I'm guessing you're trying to wire them to your cars amp? You would wire all the positives together and the negatives together, which is called parallel wiring. Using copper bars would be ideal, but that is expensive. Therefore, you might want to check out brass bars.

Cool they guy who build my box told me it’s a certain way that you have to wire them he wanted to charge me 150 do it

He'll just wire them the way I mentioned.

Aren't those 3.2 volt cells?
Wouldn't you need 4 cells in series to make a nominal 12.8v bank
Then you parallel each bank for added reserve?
I'm still learning the cells thing

Those are Lithium(?) cells, not capacitors.



These in the video are batteries, but all the same, cells/batteries, same - same, parallel or series, it explains which is which and why.

I think this is how they are wired up to attain the desired voltage.

But I count 7, and you only want 4 to get to roughly 12.8V.

That is if they are all at 3.2v.

It might be wise to look into this further; it might be prudent to pay someone after all.

You have to check each one, make sure each cell is charged before connecting, and closely match 4 of them, etc.

Done incorrectly, you could be blowing $hit up and not in a firecracker sort of way, more like an M80 sort of way.

More specifically, these are LifePo4 cells.

I see 8 cells, there's another one to the left

Correction: If there are 8 cells, then you could wire them in a series-parallel connection for 12.8V.

And I would assume some sort of BMS too.

I'm not thinking this is exactly a first-timeer "let's experiment - see what happens" kind of deal, may want to PAY THE MAN TO PLAY!

Jk, but definitely do some more research. $150.00 is a bit of cash; fires and explosions are a lot of cash.

Good eye!

Yes, those are 3.2 volts. They would have to be wired series-parallel.
