Big 3 Upgrade question

[newjacksm 10+ year member]

I am doing the big 3, I just bought 5ft of 0ga wire will this be enough for my car? I have a 98 4cyl accord From looking at it it seems that I can do it with 5 ft. but I may be pushing it.

I bought a fuse holder as well that comes with 1ft 0ga (i didnt add it in to the 5ft) I have 5ft 0ga wire separate from this.

on the positive side I do see that hes got a wire feeding off of the terminal I want to know what he is using just incase if I cross that bridge (I am using a 4GA wire Iprobably wont need to do that being the battery terminals have 0,4,8, G holes

The 1/0 knu ring terminals blow dick IMO. Get the thick heavy duty 2/0bronze/brown colored ones from your local autoparts store usually between 4-5$ for two. But when you solder them and shrink wrap it. It really gives it a solid clean feel and look.

the 2/0 rings fit better.. especially with kolussus 1/0ga..
