Another question btw...

I have bought a fuse and fuse holder for the big 3 for the wire between the alt + and the battery +.

I know another fuse comes in the kit... will I be needing any other fuses/fuseholders?

Besides fusing the main cable and any distro blocks you might be running I think you're good.

20 ft for the big 3...? You really shouldn't need more than 5-7ft at the most.

i was gonna say make sure you have proper battery terminals to hook up all the wires to the batt..and make sure you have enough wire terminals/ other hardware

Your main power wire... your amp kit most likely came with one right?

ha i was thinking the same thing. 20 feet is wayyyy too much.

yes you put it on your battery. if your battery has top terminals. if not then dont get this terminal. if you only have side terminals you may have to use ring terminals on your wires and use an extended bolt to make them all fit. but some batteries dont have top terminals. hope this helps.

That would go onto your POS terminal of the battery, connecting your power wire to the rest of the system. If you do not have a top post battery you will also need a top post adaptor (Found online; an audio shop or car parts place might have them as well). That particular terminal has a 1/0ga output, a 4ga output, and a 1/0ga ring terminal. Knu makes pretty good stuff.

If you have a dual battery setup (one in front, one in back) you'll want to fuse the POS battery wire 6" or less from the front battery, and do the same thing to the battery in the back. The purpose of these fuses is to protect the wire in between the batteries.
