I was literally talking to a friend asking him about this as we were doing a Big 3 upgrade on my F150. It has a bunch of connections on the stock wire terminal. That's awesome that they have these features on these posts.
You sold another set. What a great idea. I have traditionally converted to military style terminals but this is much more convenient for modern vehicles with fuses integrated into the terminal.
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.
Thank you for the great information on this product. I just placed an order for the KnuKonceptz this battery terminal, vertical posts, fused distribution block and some ground wire for my new Amp install. I enjoy learning about car stereo installations from your channel.
I’m glad my last install had a distribution block built in from the factory. It was a great surprise and kept it looking OEM. The only pain was fishing the wire in the tight space in front of the firewall. I definitely used some tips from your channel on wiring.
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. 👍🏽✌🏾
Beautiful presentation. Definitely going to be ordering one of these terminals. It seems every used car I buy has buggered up battery terminals. New subscriber.
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
This terminals are awesome. I have them in multiple of my cars but if the battery is in the trunk this isnt as helpful but since all my cars have the battery in the engine bay, this is super helpful to install aftermarket wiring directly to the battery.
Do you recommend any particular anti-corrosion steps. I am not sure if one is better than the other on keeping the terminals safe. If any? Thanks. Love the terminals.
My big question is, how well do they resist corrosion? These would come in real handy when I can finally get back to the rewiring my 1979 bass boat with 4 batteries.
Where are you getting the wire ferrules? How critical are they? I haven't used them in the past. I am using these on my 71 Camaro because I have relocated the battery to the rear of the car. They work great.
I can't seem to find an explanation for how the two ports for connections work. It appears that there is some sort of ferrule installed on these wires from your video?
@knukonceptz1 awesome. So i slip the wires into the ferrule and then slide the ferrule in either the positive or negative terminal? It's meant to be screwed down on?
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.
I have the previous version but haven't installed it yet and yeah on our 07 tahoe has the same tight space for the battery terminal. I was think of cutting down my allen tool to install it and make it work. I may look into getting the second version of their battery terminal.
Looks pretty rad. But are there still cars being made with top-mount battery terminals? I thought pretty much everybody switched to side-mount / screw-in terminals about 1985 or so... Or are people doing high-end audio systems these days replacing their batteries with top-mount and using an adapter to connect the OEM battery cable? I'm adding an additional power distribution bus to my truck now; but for my part, I'm just using one of those replacement side-mount terminal screws that exposes a threaded stud that you can slap ring terminals on and secure with a nut.
@@CarAudioFabrication - huh. Interesting. I guess it's been a long time since I bought a new car. 🙂 I thought the auto industry had switched to side-mount almost exclusively ages ago.
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.
Ehh I went with the factory Battery in my Prius because it’s a damn good agm battery. My Prius is the shiiiiiit. Anyways I didn’t get the one with extra terminals and the cable from the car has all kinds of additional stuffs makes it complicated so I had to use a lugged end. Those are cool things those items in the video.
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.
This is by far the best battery terminal ever made. I love it I've used 3 sets on my personal vehicles and I recommend them to everyone.
Could you tell me what the thread pitch is for the hole where the post adapter goes?
@@stonedaily 20tpi
This is super awesome! Not only for car audio, but for doing a standalone EFI install like Holley.
Thanks to you, I have almost completely replaced all the wiring in my car with knuKonceptz. Great products.

Perfect timing - this is the last issue I needed to solve and my system will finally be wired in. This will definitely be a big time saver.

Awesome. I'm gonna order a pair to replace my original Knukonceptz terminals already in use.

I love how it's not overpriced either! Amazing work!
I love the design. Perfect for my honda van
I am so excited by the cool new options we have for terminals and distro blocks!! Awesome video, thank you!
Love this video, thank you CAF for your knowledge and sharing.
Well here is a knu koncept I have knever seen!
Beautiful presentation.
Definitely going to be ordering one of these terminals.
It seems every used car I buy has buggered up battery terminals.
New subscriber.
Found your old video then surprised you had a newer version video. Clever little terminal setup for sure.
Do they have anything for sidepost batteries?
A lot of thought and engineering. Nicely done.

Modifying an allen wrench with a grinder was my first thought but this setup is pretty flexible :)

Great connector. Have been looking for something decent in The Netherlands. Just ordered on at their website. Thanks
Best terminal I’ve seen!
Super cool! I purchase my set yesterday and they arrive today!
Where did you buy from ?
Do you recommend any particular anti-corrosion steps. I am not sure if one is better than the other on keeping the terminals safe. If any? Thanks. Love the terminals.
Clever design👍👍
It additional attachment can be used for a 3/0 welding cable
We’re truly in the future now. I can’t wait for mine to show up
My big question is, how well do they resist corrosion? These would come in real handy when I can finally get back to the rewiring my 1979 bass boat with 4 batteries.
would love to see a review of the bassik terminal, its a lot smaller and looks wayyyy cleaner as far as I can tell.
Where are you getting the wire ferrules? How critical are they? I haven't used them in the past. I am using these on my 71 Camaro because I have relocated the battery to the rear of the car. They work great.
i ordered a bunch off amazon years ago and have been using them since. would definitely recommend
What I would like to know, is whether or not this would work with the gigantic fuse distribution cover on top of GM truck batteries.
It probably won’t just like it wouldn’t work on my volvo c30
I can't seem to find an explanation for how the two ports for connections work. It appears that there is some sort of ferrule installed on these wires from your video?
I miss the older 5 sided compression style terminal with the cover from Knuconcepts
Do you have a video for isolation/ 2nd battery install? Thanks
This is great as long as you have the room for it to sit higher under the hood without hitting.
If your battery is that close to your hood you have issues
I imagine it depends on the car. Some have more room than others.
Genius product! 👍
The field can handle a large load ,and pos doesn't need any larger guage normally .as its down stream from a device
This is marvellous!
Great demo. Thanks!
Man, great product and video. Sold!
Hope you enjoy it!
What is that metal piece that is installed at the end of the wires? The end that gets installed into the battery terminal? Makes it so clean
those are wire ferrules
@knukonceptz1 awesome. So i slip the wires into the ferrule and then slide the ferrule in either the positive or negative terminal? It's meant to be screwed down on?
I have a question I have a side mount battery terminal. What adapter would I use to mount my amp wires?
This might actually work with a dual battery setup that uses very large wires connecting the batteries plus to the alternator.
how do you cover the additional positive post? looking at one for our CX-5. I need to add 2 10-awg wires to the +post (hitch and sub)...
who makes the ring terminal adapters that you used in this video? thanks
You know what was even better? Batteries with top and side posts... Hook up one way or the other with both factory and whatever you're doing. 👍
Unfortunately not available in every size, and the sides of the battery are often not exposed.
Will those terminals work on marine battery systems. I have a semi truck and marine battery terminals.
These are designed for SAE type battery posts. Its possible, if your battery has both types of posts like some marine batteries do
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.
Thanks I will look for those screw on adapters.
Will the battery sensor on the negative terminal still work properly?
I have the previous version but haven't installed it yet and yeah on our 07 tahoe has the same tight space for the battery terminal.
I was think of cutting down my allen tool to install it and make it work.
I may look into getting the second version of their battery terminal.
Do they have a solution for the batteries with side ring connectors and no posts
I need a side post adapter that has two 4 gauge to distribute is there such a thing
What is the thread pitch of the battery post adapter
Just bought this 30 minutes ago 😂. Didn't even see this video yet
I purchased the original style. I Wish i knew this version was coming out. Im upgrading to an optima battery so i should be good
Top notch.
Could you do a video on the Rockford dsr1 ?

Every vehicle I have owned in the last 20 years has had top mount posts.
@@CarAudioFabrication - huh. Interesting. I guess it's been a long time since I bought a new car. 🙂 I thought the auto industry had switched to side-mount almost exclusively ages ago.
Do a video using this product on a side post battery
I have a 2014 Hyundai Sonata and it has a Fuse on the positive terminal. Can I delete it to install this terminal in the video? I already have it.
does it come with the alum keys and post
would this be ok for off roading" will them set screws hold on tight enough?
Yes. Our customers use these for adding winches and other heavy electrical devices, not just amplifiers.
Shoutout to all the peeps using these & did the big 3 with 8g wire 😂
It seems that the vertical terminals could also be turned 90 deg to make them horizontal. Is that true?
They can, but only on the left side (looking from the rear of the terminal). The cover gets in the way if mounting on the right side
These are nice. Definitely makes it look clean.

Is this connection also available in Europe?
Our original UBT-840 is stocked in Europe and ships from Slovakia.
Can you put a ring terminal underneath the post Adapter
You can, it would work. Keep in mind you are taking thread depth away from your OEM connection
Hi ...what happens if the sub is 10 000w peak and 650rms and the amplifier is 8000w and 700rms ....can u explain this plz
It is very useful.
This is the permanent solution to a crappy Chrysler terminal.
Nice product, too bad we don't have it available worldwide. 😢
We ship worldwide on our site and the original UBT-840 is stocked in Australia, Canada, EU and UK
thank u sir
sooo... still "Nothing" for a Side Post battery? ...thanx
There have been solutions for side post batteries for 30 years
I like it, except for the fact you need so many sizes of allen keys
Just wish they would make one with 2 1/0 holes. Until then I'll just keep running those cheap NVX/Recoil/ETC... brand terminals on Amazon.
Could you stack these? I doesn't seem right but would be funny to see a bunch stacked and how it would effect power delivery.
We do not recommend stacking these.
I wonder why it took them years to do this. Only complaint I had for their terminal post.
Sweeeet stuff
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.
how would you separate each fused connection? I believe there are fuse blocks with multiple fuses already in play
That top post adapter will rise my battery post making it touch the hood & create a short. Not for me
That is why we have the side mounted Top Post Adapter and the Vertical Top Post Adapter. Some cars have room sideways, some have room going taller.
How will this hold up with a winch wired to it?
And of course I got the old one
Looks like they no longer sell this
@@darwintamayo it’s back then! I just ordered a set today 11/04/2024
I think I would just purchase a different battery without recessed terminals.
First
First comment, nice!
