Amp Power Wire Hookup Help
So I'm really getting mad but I need to hook up the amp power wire to my batter on my 1990 Pontiac Firebird and can not get the bolt to tighten down. Someone please help!

Re: Amp Power Wire Hookup Help
It's a real pain getting a power wire behind the side terminal. You only have so much room. What I did was bought a cheap terminal for the top post and ran the power wire off of it. I don't know if your battery has top and side terminals though....

They make a bolt to do this with - available at any auto parts store in the battery section - it replaces the bolt in your battery cable, but has another threaded section at the top with another nut to attach an eyelet cable end (the amp wire needs an eyelet crimped on it.

And the eyelet to crimp on the amp wire (which it should have had one):
