Posted April 27, 201114 yr im doing the big 3 with 2 gage but should i ren the - from the batt to stock ground or to a better spot?
April 27, 201114 yr I kept my stock ground and added a 1/0 ground from battery to strut tower. If you have doubts you can chevk your ground location with a dvm. Choose a location with the least resistance. As always remove paint and grim, metal to metal contact is a must.
April 27, 201114 yr Depends what the stock ground looks like, if it is sufficient then go with it. Remember to remove paint from the stock ground if it hasnt been already.
April 27, 201114 yr Author also i dont want to remove the stock grounds can i just add these wires in
April 27, 201114 yr also i dont want to remove the stock grounds can i just add these wires inthats what i did.
April 27, 201114 yr also i dont want to remove the stock grounds can i just add these wires inThat's perfectly fine, since electricity takes the path of least resistance it will literally "choose" what ground is better! (I think)
April 27, 201114 yr also i dont want to remove the stock grounds can i just add these wires inYes!Yes this is the best thing to do just in case you grounds you add in suck.. LOL which they probably wont and should you want to pull out the big three to sell the car later its simple no need to redo anything.
April 27, 201114 yr Author sweet well i just got done with making the wires now its time to do all the grounds and ill be putting in the alt to positive another time i dont have a fuse for it yet thank you very much
April 27, 201114 yr Author Well I didn't realize I needed another batt terminal for the neg so I could fit the 2gage and went to the local shop to get one and wow what a surprise the dude is a dick but he did have one and he charged me 25 bucks for it
April 27, 201114 yr Well I didn't realize I needed another batt terminal for the neg so I could fit the 2gage and went to the local shop to get one and wow what a surprise the dude is a dick but he did have one and he charged me 25 bucks for itIt's always nice to be able to pay the local shop double the price.
April 27, 201114 yr Author Yea and be treated like I'm a retard but the system seems to be a little louder and the volts on my stock meter don't go under 14 I'm not sure how accurate it is tho Edited April 27, 201114 yr by steveo50
April 27, 201114 yr sweet well i just got done with making the wires now its time to do all the grounds and ill be putting in the alt to positive another time i dont have a fuse for it yet thank you very muchI don't fuse my alt + to battery. What if the fuse blows, and you don't notice? the alt is making all this power and has nowhere to go, burns up and starts a fire! It's a long shot, but that's how i do it.Well I didn't realize I needed another batt terminal for the neg so I could fit the 2gage and went to the local shop to get one and wow what a surprise the dude is a dick but he did have one and he charged me 25 bucks for itThat's ridiculous. Terminals here a 5$ a pair everywhere here. Is it an ultra special pure platinum terminal?
