Posted May 12, 200916 yr Hey guys, im going to be using a sae-1200d with stock alt (110amps). I was wondering if i could use the 4gauge wire, or should i definitely use the 0 gauge. Also... What battery terminals do you recommend.
May 12, 200916 yr I would ALWAYS recommend 0 gauge cable. The thicker, the less voltage drop. The less voltage drop, the more wattage. Battery terminals are always a toss up. Get something that is rated for the current you are gonna be shooting through them and you wil be fine. In your case, practically any battery terminal will work.
May 12, 200916 yr Author ok, now ive noticed a few of the battery terminals have like designated holes for the wire... do u think thats better then just kinda clamping em under it?

May 12, 200916 yr Author I see, i think ill end up going with the 4 gauge... Although are there any parts that are more necessary to have 0 gauge than 4 gauge?
May 12, 200916 yr haha i just made a thread about this the other day. everyone said for only around 1000 watts, 4awg wil be just fine.
May 12, 200916 yr Author hmmm... surprised i missed that thread lmao... been lookin all day... weird...
