NEVER cut another wire! - KnuKonceptz ULTIMATE Battery Terminal 2.0!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In order to install a custom car audio system we often times need to connect a large power wire directly to our vehicles battery terminal. This can be a challenge though when the factory wire cannot be cut or modified. The KnuKonceptz Ultimate Battery Terminal Version 2 ( The UBT-20 ) solves many OEM integration issues and works great on recessed batteries with a unique interchangeable clamp screw orientation. Let's take a deeper look!

    That is pretty nice! I like the cover on it vs the cheaper clear plastic ones that the tiny tabs always break that hold it on rendering the covers useless. It's cool that it fits down in that recessed terrible battery design that always seems to limit the install options. The best part is the ability to put ring terminals on. It's a much more reliable cleaner method than those threaded Allen posts that clamp down on the wires, mangling them.

    To me the most amazing thing about this video is how flexible your thumb is. LOL! My old thumbs are too stiff to twirl around like that when you were finger tightening that screw. 🤣🤣 Now I gotta go out to my shop and look for an allen screw just to see if I can get my thumb to move like that. 😂😂 I still enjoyed the video. 👍🏽✌🏾

    That's awesome. When I installed my system in my Titan I had to get creative because as far as I know this stuff wasn't available back then. But I am missing part of the factory setup. It's probably somewhere, since I would never have throw it away. It is available to replace also. My Titan has battery fuselink that's attached to the terminal also, but this would solve that problem.

    I had wondered how long it would be before KnuKonceptz produced a version 2 of those battery terminals. I personally have a positive and a negative version 1 and so far I am happy with the quality, functionality and how they look, and they have been installed for about 2 years now. I'm sure the new design will help a lot of people, but I will say that a short reach stubby/Allen wrench could have made installation possible at least with that specific battery and a version 1 terminal block

    These are nice. Definitely makes it look clean. Mr. CAF! Since I don’t know your name) Can you possibly help with a little info (when I say info, I mean generally) watched your video on calculating wire gauge for power and ground, but I can’t find any specs on the 2nd amp I’m using for a single audiobahn 12” sub. The Amp is a ProAcoustic PRAM 1222 StudioPro 1200 (MOSFET high performance amplifier) It is capable of being bridged. I’m trying to figure out the following. Class A/B or Class D? Ohms and watts when bridged? I don’t mind removing the cover, if it helps to identify amplifier type. I realize you’re not a genie. I just thought (based on your experience) you might be able to glean some info based on the chassis model and markings. Hopefully you or someone who’s laid hands on one of these can help. Thanks in advance.

    So you have group 31 batteries with the threaded studs, which is standard on HD trucks. As a diesel mechanic, I have lead post adapters that screw onto those studs that make it easier to charge and load test those types of batteries. You should be able to find them online, at any battery store like Interstate, maybe even some of the larger truck stops.

    They should build in a fuse removing the need for external fuse and this gets it a close as possible... not 18 inches. Not sure how to accomplish this, maybe a fuse that mounts directly to the output portion.. example, place this on, make factory connection, take the new zero distance fuse (tm :-) insert that, then connect the amp power wire.
