[QUOTE="TurdFergueson2, post: 5622086, member: 579108"] I would honestly not run it to the negative of the battery without replacing the battery negative ground wire to something bigger than it is. The most popular wire is 1/0. This should be sufficient for most applications. I'm a little different. Some want the minimum for their electrical. Me I change my mind a lot so I want to be able to run anything. I would start with a High output alternator and replace my up front battery. THere's a sticky in the wiring section about the big 3 upgrade. Its is a pretty inexpensive and very worthwhile upgrade to your factory wiring. From there it's wiring and batteries. Depending on what you are trying to run that will vary. Also where in Chicago are you? I know of a decent place to get wire. [/QUOTE]
