[Fender5 10+ year member]

I wanna say special thanks to everyone who has replied to my threads, 1mtx1 for countless hours of help, x2o, gunz4me, Pioneer~Saturn, craigzter

Start with BIG 2! I didnt wanna do the alternator one, i'm scared.

stock from battery goes here and then the 2nd wire goes to the alternator...

Before:

After:

The first is my 4 gauge ground I got for liek $2. and the 2nd is Knu 1/0, and the last bottom is stock.

i was at 14.3 without big 2. 14.1 with lights and heater on full blast.

I might put a lock washer on the ground wire on your terminal, it looks like it could come loose.

i had to screw them on top of the terminal because they would not fit under it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

the one on the left is my stock harness. and the one on the right is the one i keep gettin when i order the one for my **** car!I've contacted Metra twice. They're suppose to send me some direct this time. I ordered from Sonic and explained to them that the guy at metra said that the package got mispacked so that wasnt the right one. and then i ordered from partsexpress. same crap. so components aren't hooked up. tweeters are though. im also waitin for craigzter for spacers for my components.

i drilled hole for these. they're not flush //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif but they are on there.

beefy 6.5" speakers.. Hifonics amp to power them. 125WX2

o gauge Knu and 4 gauge Knu I had. Box of different install accesories. 16 gauge stinger pro wires for components. 12 gauge Stinger for subs

crossovers going there. its above the passenger compartment. carpet comes out and i just slipped them under. works great.
