im gettin my car back this weekend, and i wanna do the big3 to it.

and was wondering a couple things..

i know the basics, but im not sure if i can get through everything being an amatuer.. so if i post pictures can u guys like edit them telling me where to put all the wires?? i can take pics from all angles to help.

also i got about 30 extra feet of 4g wire, would this be just as efficient as the 1/0 g for the big3?

You might only need 4 gauge, depending on what your running.

What are you running?

1250 watts RMS

4 Gauge will work.

Just keep in mind that you might want to upgrade your system sometime??

Theres the Official Big3 thread stickied and post your pics here if you need help.

Should be fine with the 4 gauge for now. There's a few threads on where to run the Big 3 wires... Alternator positive to battery positive is one, Battery ground to chassis is another and the last one I believe is engine block to chassis or frame. I did a 4th one too in mine, did the negative from the alternator to the battery, some cars don't have a negative from the alternator.
