Question about new battery terminals for the BIG 3

[axeten 10+ year member]

Hey all,

I am about to do my big 3 upgrade to 1/0 gauge power cable. I bought a new stinger negative terminal and was looking at the positive ones. Since i can only find positive termials that have 2 1/0 gauge inputs but i need three (when including the run to the amp) how should i go about connecting them?

I'm looking at this one:

Scosche EFX Compression Wedge Battery Terminal DCLAMP - eBay (item 310247015056 end time Dec-30-10 17:37:14 PST)

Should i run the amp direct from the terminal and the run the other 1/0 gauge port and split it somehow into two for the alt/starter?

My standard terminals ar rubbish looking so i dont just want to buy ring terminals to connect them all.

Thanks for any help

That one seems to only have 3 x 1/0 gauge inputs. I'll fill these but need to put my small wires (for spotlights/indicators on bulbar etc) in there too. Could i just wedge them in with the 1/0 gauge wire you think?

if your doing 3 1/0 then that scosche one wont do what you want either, i dont know of many terminals that will take triple 1/0 and small guage, you could always look into getting custom ones made by a toolmaker, i believe there is someone on caco that does that.

Most of us use ring terminals on a bolt.
