January 7, 200817 yr i think that the 4/0 gauge terminal is bigger than my cars battery LOL.I didn't see anything there bigger than 1/0 guage at knukonceptz. But my boss says all the time that i'm blind Edited January 7, 200817 yr by bigtoepfer

But my boss says all the time that i'm blindWell, honestly, that 1/0 is going to be good for damn near 300 amps or more or less maybe. 2 runs of it would be more than enough for most daily systems. How much current do your amps crave?
January 7, 200817 yr haven't got them yet. but i was thinking that i'd have less than 200 amps of current draw from the sub and hi's amps.one thing i never thought about. I have only a 75 amp alt. is it possible to have that much amperage draw with that little of an alt?

I have only a 75 amp alt. is it possible to have that much amperage draw with that little of an alt?I'm not an electrical genius by any means, but 1 run of 1/0 would be fine for that, but make sure you have a nice battery, maybe two, and possibly look into a re-wound alt, or just a larger amperage one.
January 7, 200817 yr well i'm not really looking to change the alt in anyway, because that could void my cars warranty. I wouldn't mind adding a battery in the back tho. Altough i'm looking to keep from doing that. If i have to change the amps up much
January 7, 200817 yr Author well i'm not really looking to change the alt in anyway, because that could void my cars warranty. I wouldn't mind adding a battery in the back tho. Altough i'm looking to keep from doing that. If i have to change the amps up muchjust get a new HO alt and then if something ever happens just throw back on your stock one. its not hard at all, its just undoing a bolt on the bracket and putting the new one on. put the belt on and adjust the tensioner, and then plug back in the harness. and then of course your + wire to battery.
