What's the best way to connect the amp power lead to the positive battery terminal?

My power cable came with a "ring terminal" (I think that's what its called?) at one end, but the ring isn't big enough to fit over the actual terminal of the battery.

Any photos of how you have done this would be better than good... or even a link to a guide. I have searched but found nowt.

Quick question, which was covered in the thread but wasn't 100% clear -

I'm pretty sure I have the quick-release type connection on my battery. Can I wire in my amp power the way you did in the photos? By going through the fuse box next to the battery?

(Sorry if this is obvious to some, but its not to me...!)

If you take off the plastic cover behind the battery you will see the little m6 nut. Take that off and clamp your power cable terminal behind it.

One you take the plastic fuse cover off you cant miss it mate;)
