[QUOTE="SilveyPuck08v2, post: 7081911, member: 627400"] I'm not gonna be running much power, now anyways. Just a small ZED Audio 4 channel & a JL Audio 500/1v2. So around 600w RMS. The factory wiring is 6 awg. I like your idea for the added grounds, but for my application I don't think it will be needed. Especially since my wires are all gonna be very short. The alternator + bolt is about 10'' from my battery + & the casing bolts are about 15'' from the battery - I don't use gold plated crap for anything, nor will I spend $30-40 for two chunks of metal. I'm using $4 terminals from Autozone. No plating, just metal. Then I picked up longer bolts from Lowe's & some locking washers to add the Big 3 1/0 wire using lugs. It's actually 2/0 weld wire & weld lugs. My dad is a superintendent @ CommScope (telecommunications & fiber optics) & I was able to get the supplies from one of there engineers. He crimped them together using the same hydraulic crimper used to wire multi-million dollar machines, so it should hold.
