Phoenix Gold 1/0 Gauge (AKIT 1) Amp Install kit

Post by Fat_boy »

Just curious to know if anyone has one of these in use and can provide some insight as how to use the HD Grounding terminal. I just got mine and there is no literature that came along so Im guessing and I've never put one of these bad boys in. The fused battery terminal is easy enough but the HD grounding terminal design is throwing me a little. Thanks guys

I'm pretty sure what you need to do is strip the 1/0 gauge cable and place it through the metal ring that screws into the ground terminal, leaving about 1/4" to 3/8" of copper strands sticking out past the end.
Then fold/bend the copper strands over the ring (see awesome MS Paint pic) and screw the ring into the grounding block.
I'm only going from memory, so I will double check when I get home from work tonight that that is the correct method.

yep, thats it^


make sure to fold all of the wire over the lip.

look silly like it wont hold when you first do it, but after you get it tighted (use a cressent or large wrench on the block, and whatever wrench fits on the screw on nut and really crank it) that wire will never come out.

its a pretty great kit. i bought 2 recently

ahhh... Now I see. I was looking all over for something in reguards to how it was to be done, I think I ws thinking too hard and over - complicating so simple. I love the kit, nice looking and great quality. Got it for a good price too so I cant complain. Thanks again

Yeah, I don't know why they don't include instructions for it.
I bought a ZWF500 fuse holder with the same style compression
fittings and it came with details on how it works.
