Looking at your sig, you aren't running too much power. Do the big 3.

How big is your alt?

Big 3 Will always help

my uncle said that it wouldnt because the stock wire will carry the stock 75 amps, so 0 guage wouldnt help.

your car has been 12 years in south dakota, just rewiring the big 3 will help even if you don't upgrade to 0 guage. your uncle is right in the sense that you probly don't need 0 guage.

4 guage is good to about 140A no problem. depends on the length of wire too. for short runs bigger doesn't help as much. when going back to the trunk, bigger is definitely better.

Your uncle is wrong. There was someone else on here who was saying the same thing, find the thread on it.

how do all of you attach 0 guage to the battery and all the other wires that need to be hooked up to the pos?

i ordered a kicker dual 0 guage battery termenal cramp, but im going to have to use that for ground because of all the stuff attached to the pos terminal>

so will it be ok to run 4 gauge from alt to bat, and engine ground to bat and 0 gauge to body ground?
