2004 M/T GT model with 78k miles.

I had my battery replaced awhile ago to a red top optima battery and since I have had some issues with my call stalling (not completely though) sometimes when I make a turn. It only happens for a split second. All the lights go out on the dash and then they come back on (this is why I think its something electrical). The battery is not bolted down, so it does probably move a little bit on the turns. And the connections on the battery terminal are kind of loose. They are as tight as they'll get, but they still seem a bit loose.

Also the car has a sub/amp that came installed when I bought the car. All grounds are ok (already checked). My main concern is that the remote turn on lead wire is coming from the fuse box under the cigarette lighter fuse (they just plugged the fuse in with the wire underneath it).

I'm going to remove the remote turn on lead wire to the amp and drive around for a couple of days to see if that is it. Anybody have a recommendation on to where I can purchase a "GOOD" set of terminal blocks? Also where can I buy a new kit to bolt down the battery so it doesn't move?

Go to any auto store and ask for battery terminal shims like this http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...ntifier=257147

Didn't even know they made these. Thanks a million. I will try this as well. I went ahead and ordered the F151-67-TB1 part from onlinemazdaparts.com also as I had some corrosion on the current terminal.
