could you take a pic? because the bt2pf terminal only has that 8 gauge spot that's unfused and there's 2 rings with 8 gauge wires on the positive terminal already.
Sub for stock MS3 Sport?

Might take a while, but I'll try to. This is a 4 gauge, internally fused example. I ran a slightly oversized screw if I remember right. It all worked wonderfully. Which was good, because I was getting pissed off at the rest of the install.

sorry i don't know if i'm asking the question right
i have the same terminal you have:
but it only has one ring (fused) and an unfused 8ga
i just want to know what you did with the two other wires that are currently on the positive terminal of battery (the one with the khaki colored terminal and the black one with the yellow stripe)
did you just put them on the ring too? if you do that do you have to run a larger fuse?

LOL...I noticed your wire all across the whole car. Dude, just run that behind the firewall shield. You can't even see a single wire in my car's engine bay.
Yes, you and I have the same terminal! Neato...looks like you saw the value in having the fuse right there on the terminal. What I did was use a slightly larger screw, and I made ring ends for the other wires that you are speaking of. YES, they are fused with the sound system, but honestly I didn't see any other way, and it hasn't been a problem. IF my system blows a fuse, I'll be dead in the water, but I carry the right parts to replace it in 5 minutes if that happens. Just run rings for your wires my man. I used a massive fuse, I want to say in the upper 120-160 range. My amps are fused again in the trunk, and the amps themselves are fused too, internally.

haha that's not my install, i'm definitely cleaner than that. that's some guy who did big 3 - i just used a picture to make sure you knew what i was talking about for the two wires on the positive terminal. besides that's a regular 3!
maybe i'll put one in the unfused slot and run the other one on the ring.
thanks!

I even went to the extent of covering the entire cable with split loom for that extra factory look.

it's not my install... mine is run behind the firewall.
That looks exactly like mine!
I have an amp installed where my radiator is and one right below my clutch.... Super stealth install (when the hood is closed). I mean who looks under the clutch for an amp?

Batman would.
I'm going to be placing a Raamaudio order this week or next; it's f*ing cold in Indianapolis right now, I'm hoping for a mild weekend (50s) and having my buddy with an SRT-4 help me strip out the MS3 and layer her in soundproof goodness and run wires. No stereo stuff yet, not the money Blumicar does have... But it'll be quiet inside!
