dont see why you cant, your just adding more and bigger wire

Just add the wire where it already exists.

Yeah I noticed I can connect wiring using same areas. I do believe this **** car has factory big 3 but 4ga wiring. Alternator to pos battery, battery neg to chassis, and chassis to engine block. Should be just swapping out grounds. The alternator to battery i will leave and just add my wire to the same bolts.

So @mylows10 power wire will be 5.5 ft.

You ALWAYS leave the wire, and just add more wire. Never remove the factory wiring.

Thanks for the advice. Going to New Orleans for the weekend. So hopefully can get this installed on Monday.

Got my big 3 done today thanks to quick shipping and great kit from mylows10. More trouble than i wanted but alot less than i anticipated. With stock battery cables on hyundai sonata you need to have one connector either smaller or grind it down a bit to fit. 0 gauge wire from mylows is extremely flexible and easy to work with. Just thought I'd post an update.

We spoke yesterday and I forgot to ask you. Do you notice any difference with the Big 3 done considering we have the same cars lol.

I upgraded to a much larger amp and sub so not sure how it affected. Y old setup. But I have no problems at all with power here. No lights dimming with bass. Once i upgrade amp power wire i expect to see an improvement. Im suffering now from using 10gauge power wire from my initial install of a bazooka //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif

I'm going to be running the two sundown's you saw. I spoke to a guy on the hyundai forums that's running about 1800 watts constantly with no dimming or anything. I hope I'll be alright.

Specs on my amp 2250 rms at 1 ohm. You should be fine. It helps that sonata has 110 stock alternator. Add big 3 and you should have no problems.

Now, order that cup holder mod and install it.

That makes me feel a little better now. Big 3 definitely coming soon. Haha I should. I wish the interior lights were red though. My 99 Bonneville had red lights and I loved it. I guess blue is nice too. lol.
