[QUOTE="tpmeredith, post: 7306199, member: 625173"] Honestly for his install the type of wire, OFC, CCA, etc isn't gonna make a big difference. Just get some welding 1/0 and call it a day. Check all the connections for loose crimps/etc. Check ground for bad ground (not sanded down). Are you testing voltage with DMM or cap? Are lights dimming heavily? Test battery up front Add Deka 105ah to back. If you do big 3, have good connections, and battery in trunk, you should never have any drop issues. That is if you have a true 200amp alt. I'm running a lot more wattage than that with a 135amp alt and pretty much no voltage drop issues. He doesn't need to upgrade a 200amp alt for that amount of wattage. What cars use 125amps for soley the cars? Also throw the cap away IMO lol. [/QUOTE]
