Big 3 & New Battery

[jbizzle 5,000+ posts]

Well I don't want to spend much at all, and this 50 foot spool is about $100.. so I don't want to buy the 3, 3 foot wires, and still dim, and then buy the 50 foot just to add the battery..

eh, you're right. i'd rather just buy the spool use what I need (rather be safe then sorry) and sell the rest. what battery should I get? another yellow top?

after doing the big 3 with a 50ft i only had aboult 12 ft left, just buy the roll and keep the rest just in case

****, I was going to buy 9~ feet just for the big3 from someone over here on ca

i think you would be better off running 2 kinetic batterys. they would be a little cheaper.

thats just my .02 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsupwink.gif.129404938effda6ad9cca39e7f4b58a3.gif

Is that battery better then the Optima YT? And for the kinetic batterys, how much are they? and are they better then the optima yt?

Get the Deka, very good batts and stronger then a YT. You can get them at REMY in South Milwaukee.

Do the BIG3 first, then add a 2nd batt if still needed. 2nd batt can be grounded to the frame in the rear...

thats for sure...if it was 38 feet then something is wrong...i have a deka under the hood in my impala and plan on one in the rear very good batteries.

Alright, I guess I'll just get the deka. and i'll be picking up the 50ft spool of 1/0 gauge wire this week, hope to have this done this week!

Is the deka a wetcell battery though? I wouldn't want anything happening in my trunk..

wouldnt you fuse the power wire from the front batt to the second batt in the back?

of course, i have an extra 250amp fuse and i'll just toss that on there, but i need a fuseholder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
