ok, if i bought about 20 Feet of KnuKonceptz 1/0 Gauge Power Wire and 6 Directed Electronics 63205 1 / 0-gauge Ring Terminals

would that be all i need to do the BIG 3?

3 connections two terminals, sounds good to me.

to get this straight.....

#1 Pos of battery to Pos of Alternator (do i add to the old wire? or replace the old?)

#2 Neg of battery to Chassis (self explanitory)

#3 Engine to Chassis (on the engine just any exsisting bolt?? on chassis same place as #2???)

dont remove the old wired from the alt, just at the 0 guage, i put 0 guage from my alt to my chassis too.

for your engine ground you can use your bracket that holds your alternator in place

thats wat i used to ground my alt,

that's a good price for 1/0, it's ~$56 for 25ft shipped from weldingsupply.

look for the seller uneeksupply, i think thats the name, thats were i got my wire

thats good?

2/0 gauge

1/0 gauge

copper is copper

if i got the 1/0, that would work?

and if im running a 2200 watt amp, can i run 4 gauge?

i had a 1900 watt amp on the 4 gauge before...

that 0 would work

what amp is it?

for what? to replace the 4 gauge? or can i just leave it?

and if i need to change it.... what about the fuse? just transfer it to the 0 wire?

its the hifonics BXI 2608D

If it has 1/0 gauge terminals I would sue zero gauge. If the fuse holder accepts 1/0 gauge you can reuse it as for the fuse itself, you fuse for the wire. 1/0 = 300 amp

oh.....

well.... i might just stick with the 4 guage....

Just check voltage at the amp input, make sure it isn't dropping too low.

what would happen if it does?

and how low is too low?

Your amp try to compensate for the low voltage by working harder, and it will overheat and die in the long run (my friend killed his hifonics 1608 with voltage issues). Below 12 would be low with 13.8 - 14.4 being ideal.
