Multi input battery connector?

I have an aftermarket stereo/amp in my turbo which takes a lead through some circuit breaker's to the battery terminal. I had a special battery connector and because of some battery problems I had to have AAA come and remove it the hard way. I happened to be at O'Reillys to get a new battery when all this happened. They didn't have the same connector and a regular connector was too short for the cable so I (two o reiley guys) had to Jerry rig something (after several hours) to start the car (see attached which also has the old connector on top for reference ).
So it looks like I need a larger connector with a big hole to take the power wire as well as another hole to put in the stereo and what I guess is some other ground.

neither Oreilly nor Napa has anything close to it. Anybody have a source for something like this?

First of all, yank that battery out and clean up the acid all over the tray. It's likely eating it up pretty good. Baking soda and water will neutralize it and you may want to pull the tray and clean it up further.

The connector? Most any decent stereo shop will have them, likely a selection of them. or Amazon. Or Crutchfield http://www.crutchfield.com/p_142BTUC...5340145&awdv=t
