Big 3 and Amp wire upgrade

[fyremanpat]

So I had enough of literally melting fuses in my amp power wire, I ordered 30 ft of 0 gauge wire to re-wire it and do a big 3 upgrade...trouble is NO one carries 0 gauge ring terminals around here, and if they do they $15 for two. Looks like Im gonna be making my terminals. I will post some pics!

Go to a welding equipment store, I'm sure they have them for 0 gauge. Quite possibly, they might even have them for 4/0!

Couldnt find terminals so I made them. 1/2 inch copper pipe seemed to do the trick



$1.75 a foot through ebay









Tried to keep it looking as stock as possible. Big 3 DONE..just gotta run the amp power tomorrow.

your filter looks dirty.
lol.
other than that, it looks great man. like stock.

 

[fyremanpat]

OK OK I cleaned my filter today too and finished the amp install..will have pics up later

thats not the stock alternator is it?

and now finally finished and air filter all cleaned up just for boble94. haha







and after doing all this I would tell everyone who plans on doing this to go with 4 gauge..0 gauge is just wayyyy to hard to work with, especially when its cold out. Hope this helps.

The alternator is new but its suppose to be oe from advanced autoparts..its a 120 amp (I think)
