replace or add onto big 3 ?

Me personally, I would replace everything with fresh 0 gauge. You can pick up the very flexible 0 gauge welding cable from any good shop that sells/repairs welding rigs and use that. It's every bit as good as the high dollar wires, as flexible as the Kicker wiring, and WAY cheaper. Then remove the stock crap and replace it with the new wire. Just my .02 though.

you can just add the wire. electricity will take the path of least resistance anyways.

You're right, it will take the path of least resistance. But if you're going to do a job then take the time to do it right. I refuse to half *** anything, and IMHO just adding wire on when you should replace it is half assing it.

well I added wire because the stock wire was in perfect shape, and earlier i was driving with my headlights on no dimming, but i was wondering i still have some voltage drop when the sub hits even with 2 car batteries, not enough to dim the lights, but i can see it on the guage, Do you guys think i should take the 2nd car battery (not deep cycle) out and replace it with a kinetik 600, ( my buddy wants to sell me one $70) ????

i would add because current takes the path of least resistance and replacing wouldnt really do much except create more work unless u wanted to clean things up

i added onto mine because my power wire from my alternator when to the fuse box area and i have no intentions of trying to wire up 1/0 wire into the standard ford terminals.

electricity will take the path of least resistance. not to mention having 1/0 and the stock wiring esentially is like having even bigger wire than the 1/0 thats going in, not much but enough to say, yes its bigger than 1/0

edit: maybe i should read the full thread before posting my responses lol
