Stripped bolt on positive side of battery. How to fix?
The bolt that holds down the wire on the positive side of the battery somehow got stripped and now I have to move the battery around before i can start that car and sometimes it wont charge up because there is no connection. I tried just take the bolt out by twisting it but it just stays inside the red boot. Anyone know how to replace that bolt?

You can get a new bolt. When you wire an Amplifier into a car they make a special battery post. So if worst comes to worst you can use one the them.
Here is one on ebay for $1.99

If it is the bolt, you can get replacements at any auto supply. If it is the battery threads that are stripped, you probably will have to replace the battery.

Yeah its just the bolt that stripped, I guess my question should've been......How do I take out the old bolt? I tried to pull and screw but the bolt just spins inside.

it'll come out if you tug at it long enough. You just have to pry it off the boot. I usually use pliers and press on the threaded side of the bolt and the edge of the boot and it pops right off. You'll get it
