whats up with this?

i think he just ran 1 ground from the frame to the batt, and the rest from the pos is running to the amp, alt, and to his main fuse box, and to the starter. that would explain the 4 wires from the pos. On most cars there is more run to the ground, but maybe his car was like that from stock and he just copied the stock wiring. I myself have about 3 runs on the ground all in 4 ga, and 3 from the pos. 1 to alt, 1 to amp, and 1 to main fuse box.

most likely a stock 8ga or 12ga from chasis to engine that he upgraded.

the black wire on the far right of the + looks like a ground from the fusebox, i hope not //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif, either way, i have never seen a car with the stock wiring not directly grounded to the battery

Why did you only put a protective cover on the negative wire? If any of them need it, it would be the positive cables.

It is a Honda civic. I have one and the factory ground was only like 6" long between the battery and the top of the shock tower. I just ditched it and replaced it completely. The black wire between the + terminal and the fuse box is the wire that feeds power to all of the car's accessories. The other black wire goes to the starter.

Hey Civic96Lx, if I were you, I would run another heavy ground directly from the the negative terminal on the battery to the alternator mounting bracket. that ensures a good ground for the charging circuit.

that is how the kicker wire came in the dual 0 guage amp kit...

thank you!.. someone finally understands... so you think i should put 0 guage from the battery neg to the alt positive??.. just right over where i put the terminal for the alt to batt pos?
