[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8770856, member: 591582"] I ran it for a while like that. It wasn't hardsteel either; it was soft, somewhat like the lead posts are soft. So when I tightened stuff down, it actually made really good contact. I do think I broke one before, though. The ring terminals for the alt sat right under the ring terminals for the power wires to the amp, so it's not like there was an unusual restriction. The only restriction would be from the battery to the ring terminals on the wires. I'm just saying it's an easy and cheap option, not that it's the best one. The size of the terminal is so small, the distance from the battery post to the wire terminal is very short, and the terminals are pretty big, so I doubt there's a ton of extra resistance. [/QUOTE]
