So I started to install the system in my 2014 Sport, and the first issue I came across (other than the 8.4an) was the battery terminals. I've seen people simply bolt a ring to the side of the factory clamping bolt, but that is not the best connection. The 13's+ have multiple fuses on the positive thin metal terminal! plus they have a thermal sensor on the negative terminal. The following is what I came up with for a clean solid 1/0 connection for the positive terminals. I have changed from my original design due to finding that there is one cable permanently attached to the factory battery terminal. BradKnob had done this same basic set up, so here is the final install..

Clean!

I have the same exact bettery terminal but i dont have the fuses like that on my 12'. I opted for the post that screws on it so i didnt have to cut the factory power wire. Knukoncept makes awesome stuff
