During my battery relocation fiasco I have stumbled across a problem. The 2 or so gauge wire that was provided in my kit from Summit has one end with a terminal, and one end that just, well, ends. I am not quite sure how to connect this to my stock positive battery terminal, seeing as how it has the three leads coming off it in different directions. I can imagine stripping them all down, wrapping them and sautering them into the blank end of the provided cable and then electrical wrapping the fool out of the whole thing, but there MUST be another viable option. Also, am I correct in assuming that I take the stock negative lead and bolt it to the nearest ground I can find/make? thanks for the answers!!!!

actually i just received my 2 gauge wire today! what i did was buy a stereo distribution block off an online site for like 10 bucks. it has 2 1/0 inputs and 4 8 gauge inputs. im gonna attach them all to that so it looks clean and if i have to modify it in the future it will be easy to get at! keep an eye out for my writeup that i hopefully will have done by tonight, that is if i can get it done.. peace!

or go to a junk yard and off a older cadillac there is a red box under the hood(driver side) that has all the power wires running to it ubolt from the bottom instant connection speaking from experience it works good
