Default Mad Electrical Insulated Terminal Block

Is this a part that is specific to Mad or is there something similar that I can pick up locally? I don't mind buying from Mad, I would just prefer to avoid the extra time and hassle it takes to order the part if I can find it around here. The car has been down for several weeks now and I'm anxious to get the Spals wired up and get back on the road!

I never saw one locally so I ended up ordering a couple from MAD. They ship pretty fast and the quality of the products is top notch.

A splice or a wire nut will work to get you going, its just a convinient way to manage your wireing

I looked high and low and couldn't find anything quite like it anywhere except at Mad, so I bought theirs.

great site, by the way. I put in a plug for them here every once in awhile. Their products are often a bit expensive, but their tech articles are free and very useful!

I would rather buy from Mark, but he is slow sometimes. Jegs has a nice 2 pole.

You'd think a product that makes so much sense and is so useful would be easier to find.

I checked the local car stereo places, but the blocks they use, if they use one at all, are more wire specific (4 gauge in/8 gauge out) and nearly versitle enough for using under the hood. Not to mention about three times more in price.

Go to an Electrical supply house. They will have any kind of termination block that you could possibly want.

Now there's a thought. We've got a Locke's right up the road. I hadn't thought about them.
