Amp Install - Battery Terminal ?

I got an amp install kit made by streetwire off ebay. It did not come with a terminal to hook the power wire up to the positive battery post. Anyone have a could recommedation on what size or type terminal that will work on my 2002 Superduty. It looks as if there are multiple hook ups already on the positive post. Didnt get a good look at it cause it raining pretty good here now.

Thanks! I was looking at those. I was concerned about the inside diameter. I have two amps. A four channel and a mono for sub. Would 50-60 feet be enough for speaker wire. was going 12 guage for subs 16 guage for speakers in door?

For SUVs I typically go with a DB Link's EL20. They are a triple shielded 20 foot RCA. Hate not having enough cable so the 20 footer covers it. Also with the length of an RCA you run a chance of noise so the triple shielding takes care of it.

12 gauge for subs and 16 gauge will be good for speakers.
