I normally use the Torres Calc. Not saying it's the best but seems to be very close when compared to all the individual ones that are floating around. Honestly do not use a formula cause math is not my strong point. I know by now you have probly downloaded it, but arn't sure of all the pluggins. It can be a little overwellming when you look at it for the first time. Now that your enclosure is built you should pull it up and go through each input and plug it in and it should start to make sence.

Sorry to be long winded, but I know if you sorked with it a while it would become childs play to you.

Seems when you are waiting for something yourself the shipping time takes twice as long.

Wellll, compared to any batteries I've dealt with it is. Isn't the 3100 70-something pounds?? I couldn't imagine...

Yeah I think the d3100 is 60 or 70.

The d1200 will help out a lot

I heard that!!!!!!! Should start wiring stuff up tomorrow.

Can someone hook me up with a link to the best big 3 "how-to"? I know google helps ( ), but I know that somebody has one that is easiest to follow.

Just look for braided wire going from engine block to chassis. Add wire to that.

Then add wire from negative battery terminal to chassis.

Then add wire from positive battery terminal to output stud on the back of alternator. (Good idea to put a fuse in between this one)

I plan to make a thread explaining a how - to on this, the next car i do (with pics.) just hope someone doesn't get to it before me!

Just take a string and run it along a line that you want your wire to go from the alt. + terminal to the battery + terminal, measure that and cut the wire to that length, terminal on both ends connect! Do the same for your engine to chassis ground, and battery to chassis ground. Do a couple battery to chassis grounds to be on the safe sides. Guess you can't ever have too many grounds

Hope that helps.

I just got a 1200 as well. I agree with it being heavy, but then again i've never held a 3100

Wire came in!! Unfortunately, literally my whole family is out of town besides my older brother, and he's at work It sucks not having a license. I have to go get speaker wire, terminals, and any other stuff I need before I start. As soon as he gets off work, I'm gonna see if he can take me to a car audio place to pick up everything we need. Hopefully he gets off before they all close..
