I was planning on putting ring terminals on each wire then securing them together with a nut and bolt, then taping them together.
Would this be safe, or am I about to place another order from Knu?

No way is that safe. Call Knu and order the distro blocks.

No, ghetto point either... Not ghetto enough. You have to solder the wires together and then leave it exposed. That is ghetto'd... LOL. Really though, I don't know for sure if that is even ghetto'd. And Shaggy, I'm gonna kick you in da nutz for not showing up to SZ this year. Missed ya there.

Figured, just giving you a hard time. Hey, was wondering where everyone grounded in the trunk. I grounded on the right-most corner of the trunk. I'm figuring that if I didn't get a good ground, I wouldn't have any power? Am I right in my assumption?

I have 2 grounds. One goes under the floor pan, above the pass. side exhaust and the other is on near the antenna mast, towards the wheel well. The underfloor is 0 while the one inside is 4 gauge. Of course I am using all SS hardware, all covered with dielectric grease, finally protected by a dust boot.
