[QUOTE="Bun-Bun, post: 4659907, member: 584852"] Ok so I am starting my install and want to do it right the whole way so first things first... big 3. Ok now my stock wiring is all 4 GA already so I am not sure of any real need to upgrade it... now before for you flame me let me say why. I am putting a second battery in the trunk with an isolator. I will be running 1/0 from the engine block ground connecion and from the alternator positive terminal ( and obviously fusing it) and running that to the trunk battery. So from the alternator to the trunk battery I will have 1/0 which is where my current needs should be. So that's my first question... would this be ok to leave the stock wiring as is and just run the 1/0 the way i described? Second is, if I do decide to upgrade the stock wiring anyway (just for fun or if you guys think I should anyway) then are there any terminal blocks that accept one 1/0 and two 4 ga? I can find one 1/0 and one 4ga but havent seen any with two 4 ga. I want to use fancy terminal blocks... because i can. My plan is 1/0 from batter to alternator and engine block and from there go to the trunk. 4ga from batt to chassis and 4ga to starter and 4 ga to fuse box (thus pos side needs two 4 ga). Now the reason I dont upgrade the chassis is my stereo is not using it and the stock system already uses 4ga so its obviously good enough for the car. Any advice appreciated =D [/QUOTE]
