Default Messy battery, please help

So I now have the following installed : piaa fog lights, kc offroad lights on the windshield, 2 subwoofers an an amp, and a switch plus all the stock stuff . All these wires are ran to my battery and it's begging in to look like a spaghetti bowl. I'm also looking to install a cb soon. Is there any good way to maybe organize it all into maybe one connector or at least clean It up a bit? Any advice is appreciated , I will put pics up soon.

This worked for me. Just used a black otter box instead of clear. Took it to the dealer for an oil change and they didn't even realize it was there.

x2^^^^ I was going to suggest this, or add a terminal block and you can attach several accessories to individual connections instead of just one on the post (grabbed pic from other site).

Oh. Then a bit of patience, some split loom, and plenty of zip ties would be your best bet.
