It's called resistance. Every electrical circuit has resistance to the "flow" of energy. This is how electric heaters work. Take a small diameter piece of wire, and put a lot of electrical current through it. The thinner the wire, the more it will heat up. If the wire is too thin, it will burn and break. This is why you want an adequate "gauge" of wire for your electrical needs.

What is the easiest way to hook up an amplifier to a side post battery setup in a car?

By using a side post adapter. I'm going to guess it's a GM? If the battery bolt is longer, such as in a truck, use the GM long side terminal adapter, if it's a car you'll most likely want the GM short side terminal adapter. This is a much better method than trying to sandwich a ring terminal between the battery and the battery cable.

How do you change the battery terminals on a 2001 Chrysler LHS speicifically the negative terminal?

well first you need wire cutters and you are going to need the terminal. disconnect the battery, cut the old terminal, you want to try to save the length of the wire so cut as close to the old terminal as possible, next take the wire and you sort of have to feed it into the proper end of the new terminal. Make sure there is a good strong connection on the wires from the car and the new terminal and finally reconnect the new terminal to the battery and start it up. hope this helps
