Need help on big 3

[G-LOW 10+ year member]

I just ordered XS Power big 3 kit and was just wondering when I hook it up to the battery, do I remove the stock positive and ground wires or hook it up with the XS power 0 gauge? Thanks and what fuse should I use on the 0 gauge that is going from stock alternator to positive on battery? As of right now I have 150 ANL fuse from battery to amp.

U will want to install with, some vehicles require stock power wiring, not sure about fusing I didn't do mine but I think u find out what the alt amperage is and use that

you can leave all stock cables, I would sand the terminals, dielectric grease to insure good contact while your there. I don't think most people fuse alt. to pos. battery, but if you do you want the cable amp rating to match the fuse rating.

Ok, what about the engine block? Should I sand that as well before connecting it to negative?

All grounds should be sanded properly down to bare metal for full metal contact.
