Hi all, I've wired many subs and amps before but on my new furio it has a strange battery terminal and doesn't seem possible to add the hoop from the red 12v wire to it in any way ! Please let me know if you know how to bypass this ! Many thanks :y:

Make sure you add a fuse as close to the point of connection as possible fella.

never knew you could wire it to the fuse box lol when i swapped everything over from my mk1 vtr to my mk2 106 i just shoved the round ring connector in to the clamp and it held for months until i swapped it all back over again in to my vtr

Take that nut off and stick it on that, then tighten the nut back up

Personally I'd never wire it to the fusebox, I did mine by clamping the wire onto the battery terminal. Solid as a rock, good connection.

any reason for that?

looks much neater than having it straight to the pos terminal plus its a direct link to the batt from the nut.

That's what I did with mine it bends the hoop crimp to the right shape as well for perfect fit
