Dealer Replaced battery and DISCONNECTED my amp!

Ok, got a new battery at the dealer.... Everything works but my AMP for my sub!! Are they required to hook it back up? To make things easier, what kind of connector should I buy to do it myself? My guess it is a 8 or 10 gauge wire going to amp.

I can see them not wanting to hook it back up to the battery post, but did they not even leave the power cables on the amp?

Depending on the size of the amp I would also recommend hooking the positive to the power distribution fuse box that is only a foot away from the battery anyways and has extra bolt on fuses of the proper rating to run an amp.

They left it on the amp, but took off the connector to the battery. Do you have any pics showing the connection to the power distrubution

Would have to remember where I have those pics as they are from a couple years ago, but if you pull out the spare tire the power dist. box is against the front left of the spare well, usually a white plastic cover over green base. You should see all the red wires going to/from it.
