Hey guys, I have a lot of wires going to the positive terminal of my battery. They all have ring connectors on them, and besides looking ugly, have been giving me problems attaching all those wires to the pos terminal. What is the best way to wire up a couple wires to the positive terminal?

Thanks.,
chris

Just curious, why do you have a lot of wires running to your battery? What are they for?

I already have two..

one for air horns and one for audio amps. I had to mount the air horn ring connector outside the clamp. Any more add-ons and I'll need to get some other kind of connector to plug everything into the battery.

It sounds like you might have to run some type of distribution block of the main. I don't know how safe that is, but it's a start.
