Im running 0 gauge wire

but I think my negative might not be making a good connection since I have it connected to the trunk floor. It lookes like very thin sheet metal when I drilled the hole it whent right through really quick.

i would say tighten ur + and - terminals on ur battery, my car did that a few times, cut off right at a red light one time, the whole car that is, I got out wiggled the wire started right up..but it also could be a voltage drop if ur alt isn't powerfull enough..

Do u YOu have Dimmage??
