I just did the big 2 with 4 guage ... my amp needs zero guage LOL, I will double up the 4 guage when I have time.

engine to chassis
chassis to battery


So far, I almost eliminated my alternator whine....still a slight hint when my ears is next to the speakers.

gonna be a while till I do the 3rd one...which is alternator to positive battery.

where u ordering from kyle?
Agreed, 0 gauge all the way if you're doing any audio upgrades. I'll probably end up ordering a few off Ebay, the only shop around here that has 0 gauge terminals closes early and the rings are pretty bulky, a little harder to work with in tight spaces. Hate paying $6 for two ring terminals too.

I have a bunch of 4 guage wires... so I don't want to invest in wires.

I think I saw some 0 gauge for 37 bux ... 20 feet or more maybe. Forgot who's selling them since I don't need them.

Double up is for me but I may have to go 0 gauge from alternator to battery.
