Default help with battery and wire situation...(pic)

ok so when i did the big3 and everything i had to go out and buy these copper wire holders or whatever they are to hold those 2 that you see on there.I wanted to get the knu battery terminals that they had so i could use those for a much easier look and install to this but as you can see it didnt go as planned.I didnt really have a problem with it before but its starting to slide out of those copper holdings and they are getting loose.What can i do to make this cleaner and easier to deal with???

Just get new battery cables, like stereo kind, you can't cut up all those wires, strip and insert into all the slots, just keep one dedicated on pos side for your main stereo wire (fused)
I will take a pic of mine.


You would have two of those black cables on the right, one of those red 4 guage is from my alternator, but you can cut them and splice them just fine.
Terminals like that, I think I got both for 20 bucks off of ebay, and the right has voltage meter, you just wire to ACC.
Pretty clean
Kept stock ground AND 4 guage ground

I like that look as well, those terminals are just so much easier, plug and play wise. Why not use the set screw versions then something you have to get your wrenches out for.

I have stock bat. clamps.

i thought those things that i have on there now were the best to use but at the time they were the only things the stores here had.I wanted to get the knu battery terminals but it looked like i had too many wires for those but i dont know.
