power/ground wire ran...FTW! PICS!

how does that work? i never even have heard of that before? care to explain

since my car is a unibody...there is no real frame to it and the best ground possible for me is straight from the battery up front.

because i compete in MECA...and they require a fuse on all power wires within 18" of the battery....and i dont want fuses up front, more resistance for me. and fuses are for ******* //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

must be 18 inches away from battery, but your battery looks to be up front? isnt he saying they are a long ways away from the battery..

too much wire ftl.

shoulda just put a piece of pvc under that car tucked in behind the skirt, and ran it all through.

never too much wire, we had 4 Pos runs of 3/0 and 4 3/0 grounds to outside the car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

We just baught these clips and ran the wire down the frame, worked pretty nice and neat.

**** i never knew that, Any idea if a corsica is a unibody? I take it you cant have a battery in the trunk for MECA?

a corsica is a unibody as far as i know

Most cars are now, but there is still a frame there, jut not a full frame

I was planning on running 1/0 pos to the trunk for another battery in the trunk and using ground to the bare metal, Should I plan on running direct to the frame under the car or even to the battery in the front?

sorry to highjack I just learned something new on this thread LOL

so all them runs from front to back are to the battery in the back or your running amps from the front battery?

the 4 + and 4 - runs from the front go to the back battery...and off the back battery goes into the amp.
