How do you attach cables to this?
I just got this positive battery terminal from dB Link
It's a bad pic, but if you've seen one of these before maybe you can help me out. I can't figure out how you're supposed to connect your cables to this style terminal. Are you just supposed to use ring terminals?

Looks like ring terminals. those screws probably come off. I'd buy the ones on edesignaudio.com comes with two 4AWG outs and two 8AWG outs. Set screws to hold the wires in.

It's like a "compression" fitting, you unscrew the "bolt"tread the power cable through the "bolt" strip insulation from the cable so you can fold the wire strands over the end of the "bolt", wire strands must not interfere with the "bolts" treads, retread the "bolt" into the batt. clamp. 
BTW, IMO it is a crappy way to connect a power cable to the batt., because it is not a soldered connection it will oxidize, [corrode] over time, and build resistance, the "corrosion" can get so bad that the power cable will just fall out of the "bolt".
