[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8274401, member: 658055"] I just purchased 12' of Knukoncepts 4ga CCA wiring, a bunch of crimp ring terminals, and a set of new battery terminals. I went with 4ga CCA for the Big 3 because I anticipate short runs and it's rated 100 amps at 20'. My alternator is only rated 90 amps anyway. I have to review the Big 3 upgrade guides for the specifics, but I'd like to fuse any wire that could potentially cause problems. That might be all three. If anyone knows offhand what ratings I'd need for what, that'd be fantastic, otherwise I'll research it in depth after I sleep. I don't know the exact lengths of the wires, the alt is 90 amps and the wire is 4ga CCA. I don't know if this info is needed, but it's in an '02 Elantra (maybe that means something to you wire length wise) and there's two amps with a combined RMS wattage of 700. I'd like to know what ratings to fuse what at. Thanks. I'd also like to know if anyone knows where I could get cheap, good quality inline fuse holders (I know those two don't go together) and if there's any benefit to AGU, ANL, or mini-ANL over the others.
