Triple Battery Terminal

Is there such a thing as a 3-connection or 4-connection battery terminal? I run all Streetwires wiring and accessories but the max from Streetwires is a dual-connection terminal. The factory wires and the 0 gauge amp wire take up both hot connections leaving no space for the HID lights.

I'm sure someone out there has a lot more accessories and lights than I do. Maybe they found a solution.

I went to CarToys and they weren't sure what to do LOL. They did offer to "upgrade" my sub box to fiberglass for a mere 800 bucks though.

How about running a short piece of huge power wire from the terminal to a distribution block under the hood that has like 4 or so outputs.

Something wtih like a 1/0 gauge input, and a bunch of 10 or 8 gauge outputs.

Might be something to try.

That's a great idea Bartak, unfortunately as far as I know Streetwires doesn't have any such power distribution blocks. The blocks always seem to be a 0/1 gauge in, 4-8 gauge out type of setup.

Well I looked on Streetwires website and see they have them with 1/0 or 4 gauge inputs, and 8 gauge outputs. Im betting you could find those 'sleeve' type things that go in like fuse holders so you can hook up 10 or 8 gauge wire. They go where the wire hooks up, takes up the extra space for the 10 gauge wire. get a couple of those and put them in the distr. block so you can stick 10 gauge in there.

And Id think 10 gauge would be a pretty good size for lots of lights and higher current stuff.

Id think it would work
