Default Audio/HIDs -Battery Terminal?

Im looking into some battery terminals, but I only come across some basic ones. I have seen terminals with volt meters, some with different guaged wires.. etc

What i currently have is an optima yellow top, some hids are currently hooked up to it by ring terminals but i will soon be adding a 4 guage cable for the bass.

I just wanted to know which terminals you currently have in your car, or have had in the past?

The ones I'm using are pretty stout Rockford Fosgate battery terminals, but they have since been discontinued. I have also used these and they work really well. Makes for a pretty solid connection.

what kind of connector are your HIDs? Couldn't you make your own connector? The linked connection block looks like you insert a piece of stripped cable and crush it down with a set screw. Just put the end you need on the small cable and insulate.

my HIDs are hooked on my o-ring terminals. I want a good battery terminal and something that could connect these as well. Maybe a voltage meter would be nice? lol

if you got industrious, you could tap some threads into one of the holes!
