Just started upgrading my grounds. I got my P3 battery terminals. I will post more pics throughout progress.

*This will help with a better idle if all 3 are done, but im doing just 2 for now.
*It is also a great upgrade for a high end sound system, or just any aftermarket sound system(helps with lights and relieves stress)
*Get a capacitor too!


Great Place for these products.

-3 Things you need to do or should know!-
1.)UNHOOK YOUR BATTERY
2.)WRAP YOUR POSTIVE TERMINAL IN CLOTH
3.)THE HARDEST PART IS GETTING THE STOCK RING TERMINALS OFF THE POSTIVE AND NEGATIVE WIRES
-What you Need-
-P3 Positive and Negative Terminals Plug and play, NO WIRE CRIMPING!
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=263-682 $5.00 a piece
-1/0 awg wire http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX0BK $4.00 a foot, really flexable
-1/0 Ring terminals (Gold or Platinum)
-Sandpaper
-Basic Hand tools

UNHOOK YOUR BATTERY!!!


I reccomend 1/0 guage wire! Bigger the better when grounding:D

1.) So first i unhooked my postive and Negative Battery Terminals
2.) Like I have always been told, wrap your negative wire in cloth or anything like it.Non conductive. Bad experiences if you do not:(
3.)It is sooooo hard to get the stock ring terminals off the wire so i cut them as close to the terminal as i could to ensure enough length.
4.) Just Got the wires, (12/14/11) hooking them up now!


Positive P3 Teminal: As you can see it wasnt the greatest fit at the top due to the wear of the terminal, But It fit snug the other 3/4 the way down. Same with the Negative Terminal
