Default Battery Terminal/Post Options?

Along with the 3 power connections the truck comes with (6/8awg) I also have my 4awg sub wire and 3 smaller 12-14awg accessory wires on the power connection. What have some people done to extend their terminal posts? I saw some options I could buy, but don't quite understand how they would all connect.

Any ideas and pics would be great. Thanks

You can put ring terminals on the bolt before the nut that cinched the terminal to the post

Here's what I did.. https://www.f150forum.com/f30/fox-bo...152632/index4/
That was a few years back.. Now that I have an optima battery with 2 posts and 2 screw in posts on the front I'm probably going to do it a little different

I got it at wal mart in a amp wiring kit.
The wire is 4 gauge and I don't think that splitter will fit much lower..
