    WHERE to ground to chassis?

    Alright I have pics! My wire n' stuff came in today. Went with 50ft all black, no reason in particular, probably wont use it all though. Got three huge inline fuse holders with fuses, and two terminal adapters for the yellowtop which can each accept up to three 0g wire. The fuse holders and...

I am a slow worker though, I like to make things as neat as I can. I also...

    building a system, could use some input

    yeah thats what the knu ofc cost also. i realized everyone you talk to has their own opinion on power wire and it really comes down to your budget and your system. are you talking about buying premade plans from a car audio company or actually talking to a builder and having the plans custom...

    building a system, could use some input

    update, i decided on all 1/0 gauge. went with the knukonceptz KCA. it is CCA wire, i realize its not as good as pure copper, but i did a fair amount of research on the subject and i decided the price difference was worth the performance sacrifice. if you didnt notice in my earlier post, i got...

    building a system, could use some input

    greg, thanks for the correction. chip, i think you mean the yellow top? the only red tops i could find were starting only. anyway, i ended up buying a small form yellow top, i bought it on the advanced auto parts website for 25% off due to a labor day sale. so that discount pretty much brought...

    I need more power! Exploring Options

    just thought i'd put in my two cents not to gang up on angel, but i agree with Denali0229 on the alternator. i also dont think you should have your HPF at 350 and the LPF at 80, thats a huge Hz gap thats not being produced. i would do 80-100 LPF and 100-150 HPF. i wouldnt recommend having your...

    WHERE to ground to chassis?

    :waytogo: ditto on the knu wire, im planning on getting a bunch of their pure copper 4g for my install. when you say tie down bolt, are you talking about one of those bolts that has the giant torx head? where the heck did you get a torx driver that big?

    WHERE to ground to chassis?

    anyone have any info on the big 3? i did notice theres a red junction box on the drivers side of the alternator where one wire comes from the battery, one wire goes towards the engine, but i think loops back to the fuse box, and a third smaller wire that comes from the alternator. do you keep...

    WHERE to ground to chassis?

    oh good, so those will work. did you guys put the ring terminal between the body and the black bracket that the bolt is holding down, or did you just put it between the bracket and the washer?

    WHERE to ground to chassis?

    Alright so I've looked all over this forum and I can't find a specific answer. Where is a good/best spot to secure the ground wire for an amp? I'm currently running 4g wire, but might upgrade to 0g. The amps will be under the middle row of seats. The only bolts I can find that dont have...
