Battery terminal connections
I am in the process of wiring a new sound system with the need to connect my amp positive and negative leads at the battery terminals.
When connecting 8 ga. 12V positive and ground to a side terminal battery, what is the best arrangement/hardware to connect?
It's a 73 coupe.
The side terminals are throwing me in terms of connectors....what to use?

The bolt portion of the connector should be removable/replaceable. If you go to a local auto parts store they should be able to find a longer bolt that will allow you to insert a lug under it.
