    Big 3 using postive jumper terminal

    So my Enclave's battery is behind the passenger seat not in the engine bay, but there is a positive jumper there. I figure that it is always connected to the postive of the battery wo would there be an issue running a 2ga from the alt to the jumper?



    Current set up: 2010 Buick Enclave, 2 12" MMATS PROCASTS 2.5@35, MMATS D200HC
    Hertz 165XL comps in front door, Eclipse XA4000(switching to Alpine 1507)
    Pioneer Z150bt Nav, Audio Technix all around.

    66 Pontiac GTO, modified stock radio, Xtant 3150x, Trubass 8", Kicker KS6.5's in the front kicks.

    well, that's only half of the issue. the wire gauge of the factory wire from that post to the battery is also important if you're adding a system. you want to size that post-batt wire for whatever you want for power wire/draw. likely it's not much larger than 4awg.

    i'd upgrade the wire from the post to the battery with 1/0 if you want to make a difference.



    have you been helped by me? i'd love to know. shoot me a PM.
