How do I attach a power wire to sideposts?

My battery has sideposts and no topposts on it. How do I connect the power wire from my amp to it?

you go to the store

you go to a gas station and buy on of them things that go over th post and tighten to it, it has a hole for a wire to go into, myne was 2 bux at a local gas station.

Most car audio stores and places like best buy sell side posts. Basically, it replaces the stock bolt with a bigger, gold plated stud. My PG posts were $5 each.

go to a stereo shop (or best buy ) and ask for a side post

it will replace yours in the rubber boot and works like normal, on the end of it there is a little bolt that goes in the end and thats where you hook up the power wire to
