Just replace and repaired my battery terminals and wanted to see if this was a good repair or if there is something I need to fix. Thanks!

Yea it’s just some electrical tape on a crimped ring terminal but connects to amplifier and speaker.

Put it under the clamp with the main power feed. Some di-electric grease on it wouldn't hurt either. You WANT your amp to have a really good connection.

As far as the repair, its probably the best way I've seen anyone use those style connections, however in the over all long run crimp/solder is best. You may find after longer term use the clamp plates will heat and deform and loose connection creating more heat, deforming and corroding ect ect ect.
