Hmmmmm.....I like it! Well, except for this comment by a disco owner:

" Every vehicle taken off-highway should be equipped with a winch. In fact, a winch is a sine qua non of a serious off-road vehicle. Those who claim that they have never needed a winch are either fooling themselves or they don't really offroad."

Sounds like someone needs to learn how to drive. (haha)

Is it just an addition hat goes onto an extra post of an Optima battery?

appears to be a cleaner way to install 3 heavy cables to one terminal and maintain a tight covered connection :coffee:

That'd clear up my battery quite a bit and make life so muc easier. Good catch!

that battery terminal is the best one i've seen to date (they were playing around with them last time i stopped by the EE shop), but i like the features of this streetwires distribution block (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-31AeArhqYn1/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=715&I=211CBR44A) a bit more than the JL one...fuses and a single ground seem pretty slick.

(great forum by the way, it appeals to my sensibilities a bit more then some of the jeep forums i frequent)

Monster has a similar though perhaps less elegant connector...and less costly:

The JL audio products are only available at their distributors shops and cannot be sold online :(

I picked up a positive connector like that for my aux. battery. Expensive.... $30-40 bucks I think, but well worth it for being able to have multiple items coming off the battery without getting all messy.
