To me the most amazing thing about this video is how flexible your thumb is. LOL! My old thumbs are too stiff to twirl around like that when you were finger tightening that screw. 🤣🤣 Now I gotta go out to my shop and look for an allen screw just to see if I can get my thumb to move like that. 😂😂 I still enjoyed the video. 👍🏽✌🏾
I had wondered how long it would be before KnuKonceptz produced a version 2 of those battery terminals. I personally have a positive and a negative version 1 and so far I am happy with the quality, functionality and how they look, and they have been installed for about 2 years now. I'm sure the new design will help a lot of people, but I will say that a short reach stubby/Allen wrench could have made installation possible at least with that specific battery and a version 1 terminal block
That is pretty nice! I like the cover on it vs the cheaper clear plastic ones that the tiny tabs always break that hold it on rendering the covers useless. It's cool that it fits down in that recessed terrible battery design that always seems to limit the install options. The best part is the ability to put ring terminals on. It's a much more reliable cleaner method than those threaded Allen posts that clamp down on the wires, mangling them.
Ehh I went with the factory Battery in my Prius because it’s a damn good agm battery. My Prius is the shiiiiiit. Anyways I didn’t get the one with extra terminals and the cable from the car has all kinds of additional stuffs makes it complicated so I had to use a lugged end. Those are cool things those items in the video.
Looks pretty rad. But are there still cars being made with top-mount battery terminals? I thought pretty much everybody switched to side-mount / screw-in terminals about 1985 or so... Or are people doing high-end audio systems these days replacing their batteries with top-mount and using an adapter to connect the OEM battery cable? I'm adding an additional power distribution bus to my truck now; but for my part, I'm just using one of those replacement side-mount terminal screws that exposes a threaded stud that you can slap ring terminals on and secure with a nut.
@@CarAudioFabrication - huh. Interesting. I guess it's been a long time since I bought a new car. 🙂 I thought the auto industry had switched to side-mount almost exclusively ages ago.
Do you recommend any particular anti-corrosion steps. I am not sure if one is better than the other on keeping the terminals safe. If any? Thanks. Love the terminals.
My big question is, how well do they resist corrosion? These would come in real handy when I can finally get back to the rewiring my 1979 bass boat with 4 batteries.
@knukonceptz1 awesome. So i slip the wires into the ferrule and then slide the ferrule in either the positive or negative terminal? It's meant to be screwed down on?
I was literally talking to a friend asking him about this as we were doing a Big 3 upgrade on my F150. It has a bunch of connections on the stock wire terminal. That's awesome that they have these features on these posts.
This terminals are awesome. I have them in multiple of my cars but if the battery is in the trunk this isnt as helpful but since all my cars have the battery in the engine bay, this is super helpful to install aftermarket wiring directly to the battery.
Where are you getting the wire ferrules? How critical are they? I haven't used them in the past. I am using these on my 71 Camaro because I have relocated the battery to the rear of the car. They work great.
These are nice. Definitely makes it look clean. Mr. CAF! Since I don’t know your name) Can you possibly help with a little info (when I say info, I mean generally) watched your video on calculating wire gauge for power and ground, but I can’t find any specs on the 2nd amp I’m using for a single audiobahn 12” sub. The Amp is a ProAcoustic PRAM 1222 StudioPro 1200 (MOSFET high performance amplifier) It is capable of being bridged. I’m trying to figure out the following. Class A/B or Class D? Ohms and watts when bridged? I don’t mind removing the cover, if it helps to identify amplifier type. I realize you’re not a genie. I just thought (based on your experience) you might be able to glean some info based on the chassis model and markings. Hopefully you or someone who’s laid hands on one of these can help. Thanks in advance.
I can't seem to find an explanation for how the two ports for connections work. It appears that there is some sort of ferrule installed on these wires from your video?
So you have group 31 batteries with the threaded studs, which is standard on HD trucks. As a diesel mechanic, I have lead post adapters that screw onto those studs that make it easier to charge and load test those types of batteries. You should be able to find them online, at any battery store like Interstate, maybe even some of the larger truck stops.
Thank you for the great information on this product. I just placed an order for the KnuKonceptz this battery terminal, vertical posts, fused distribution block and some ground wire for my new Amp install. I enjoy learning about car stereo installations from your channel.
That's awesome. When I installed my system in my Titan I had to get creative because as far as I know this stuff wasn't available back then. But I am missing part of the factory setup. It's probably somewhere, since I would never have throw it away. It is available to replace also. My Titan has battery fuselink that's attached to the terminal also, but this would solve that problem.
Beautiful presentation. Definitely going to be ordering one of these terminals. It seems every used car I buy has buggered up battery terminals. New subscriber.
They should build in a fuse removing the need for external fuse and this gets it a close as possible... not 18 inches. Not sure how to accomplish this, maybe a fuse that mounts directly to the output portion.. example, place this on, make factory connection, take the new zero distance fuse (tm :-) insert that, then connect the amp power wire.
You sold another set. What a great idea. I have traditionally converted to military style terminals but this is much more convenient for modern vehicles with fuses integrated into the terminal.
I’m glad my last install had a distribution block built in from the factory. It was a great surprise and kept it looking OEM. The only pain was fishing the wire in the tight space in front of the firewall. I definitely used some tips from your channel on wiring.
I have the previous version but haven't installed it yet and yeah on our 07 tahoe has the same tight space for the battery terminal. I was think of cutting down my allen tool to install it and make it work. I may look into getting the second version of their battery terminal.
