[QUOTE="djXternal, post: 1550564, member: 550369"] Ok guys well I'm finally getting my carpc and new sound equipment installed and I'm going to need to run some good wiring... I have three things that rquire +12v in the trunk so I was going to run 1/0awg from the battery to a distro block and break off three 6awg sources from the distro block, I am not running very strong amp for this setup and I have been using 8awg for the amps right now... First question: To fuse the positive wire, is it necessary for the fuse to be close to the battery in the engine bay, or is it ok as long as there is one along the line somewhere like the Stinger fused distro block? Now all three of those are also going to need good grounds... Second Question: I read somewhere that the ground wire should not be longer than 2 feet. Is this true? And if not would it be ok to do nearly the same setup as my +12v with my gounding? And a small additional question... Does anyone have a 2g (95-99) mitsu eclipse that has done the big 3 upgrade? I wanted to know the best way to get to the alternator Thanks in advance for the help [/QUOTE]
