alright i found some battery terminals from KnuKonceptz and they hold 1/0 gauge wire. im planning on using them for the big 3 and for my amp install, my question is will they hold a 0 gauge wire? or will i have to just not get a positive terminal? here is the link to the battery terminal

It says right in the description that it holds up to 3, 1/0 gauge wires. Where's the confusion?

im just confused with the whole wire gauge system. so it will hold a 0 gauge wire? i though 0 was different from 1/0... thats what im confused about >.<

Do not buy those! u will literally want to kill somebody... they are the worst terminals i've ever used in my life.. I could smack the guy who made them and thought they were good, i'm not lying.

Piece of crap...

I'd rather own some boss audio subs than to have had those.

then what should i buy?!?!? the Rockford Fosgate ones? i want so good battery teminals so i dont have to crimp a shit tone of wire (i dont know how and im lazy :P)

tell me all and how many size of wire u need to run to a terminal?

i say buy the 12 dollar ones. i never had a problem with them. plus if you wanna have three runs of 0 gauge on each one just use ring terminals to attach them.

Listen to Shizzzon, they are pure shit!

Go to autozone and buy these. No need to get all fancy.

alright, well im planning on doing the big 3 with 1/0 wire. and then just one amp with 0 gauge wire. so im guessing 2 terminals for the negative and 2 for the positive. does that sound right?

I Bought These For My Setup

, Yet To Be Installed Tho

They Seemed Good

Whats Bad About Them? :(

1 amp

1 big 3 addition wire

1 factory wiring (8awg probably)

u can get these-

Tsunami TSBT-PN (tsbtpn) - Battery Terminals - Sonic Electronix

but going with terminals that require terminals on the wire would be cheaper.

for one, the connections are shit. they are a bitch to tighten but then onto performance-

they have a VERY HIGH resistance problem. When i was using a HO alt, they would get REAL hot which means resistance issues inside the terminals.

I was looking at those. maybe sonic will give me a discount since im buying my H/U, Wire harness, and mounting bracket from them. but i doubt it will lol. also what fuse type will i need for the alt to battery and what fuse will i need from the amp to the battery? i cant give you the details due to the fact that i dont have the car :P but i think it is a 140 amp alt

mmk

how do i know what fuses to get for the amp kit and the inline fuse for the alt to bat?

Edited by WhatsCS

alt to bat fuse- fuse the wire so a 1/0 cable needs at least a 250a fuse.

and the bat to amp? for 1000 watts and 1500 watts or will it be the same fuse?
