Wiring for my Yellow Top
I've been searching on here and it seems that everybody runs 2 gauge for their battery cables.
I took my rig to a car audio shop today and they said they only carried 8 gauge, 4 gauge and 1/0 gauge...no 2 gauge. Is 4 gauge enough for the new cables, I figure if I'm getting it done I want to get it done right. I guess there is really no downside to the 1/0 gauge other than that its MASSIVE, but I mean...I'd rather have too much capactiy than too little. What do ya'll think, should I get a hold of some 2 gauge wire and go back to them or go with the 1/0 gauge or will 4 gauge be OK? Thanks! Fink:devil: |
I run 1/0, but my best friend runs an audio shop and has been doing it for over 15 years.....

Yeah, my buddy is who owns the shop. I found some pretty nice terminals on CarDomain.com that take 1/0 I'm not sure the place I went had any...but I didn't look. I'll call them tomorrow to check, if they don't I might order some of these:

I have to clean my engine bay, but I can get you some pics of my setup. Very stealth and a constant work in progress (like everything else)
I am about to do a fiberglass enclosure over the driver's side rear wheel well with an Infinity variable Q 12" |
As of now I am going with 1/0 gauge...they've got some pretty sweet terminals at the place I'm going to...although they've got a sweet digital gauge on cardomain.com, lol, bling bling.
What gauge should they use on the charging wire and wire going to the fuse box? 4 gauge maybe? Thanks, Fink:devil: |
I used 1/0 for my dual batteries and what not:
