Those wheels are hideous and the tires are way to fat IMO. Put the stock GST rims back on it. -
Have a Pioneer DEH-p6000ub that works wonderfully with Ipod and Iphone. $120 shipped.

New H/O alt or big battery?
dsmdan replied to Hunters21w's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
Hey bud, I was in the same boat as you recently. I ended up getting myself a Optima red top for up front (about 75ah) and a big C&D in the rear (135ah), and a DC Power 270XP alternator to keep them charged. -
Thanks for the help. The 2/ runs of 1/0 are going to a 2nd battery in the rear, and off the battery another 2 runs of 1/0 to the amp. Should I fuse the 2 runs of 1/0 coming off the 2nd battery to the amp each with a 150a fuse? And also, I was looking over the alternator wiring my truck. The stock alt wire runs into a PDC (power distribution center) where all the fuses and relays are. It doesn't go directly to the battery. I also plan on running 2 runs of 1/0 off the alt to the battery and have a few questions. 1. How should I do the wiring? Should I run the wires to the battery or to the PDC, or one each? 2.Should I remove the factory wiring as its small gauge, I mean will I burn it up with the HO alt? 3. The amp needs a 300a fuse rating as well, with the 2 runs of 1/0, should I also run a 150a fuse on each strand? Thanks again, Dan.

This guy tried lowballing me on my amp fs just yesterday. -
Hi, I am running 2 strands of 1/0 wire from the front to rear in my truck. The amp's fuse rating is 300a. Should I install 150a fuses in each of the runs of 1/0, or 300a fuses in both? Also, I am installing a DC Power 270xp alternator in my truck, along with the big 3, etc. Is is mandatory to run an inline fuse off the alt to the battery? And if so, what fuse rating should I go with, I was thinking 300a. Thank you.

Scosche 1/0 Ring Terminals

I verified that the Scosche terminals do fit my Shok 1/0 wire without any issue. -

Thanks, I had planned on soldering them anyways. I've got a nice hand held MAP gas torch, a few rolls of 60/40 solder, and a vice to help. -

Thanks, that makes sense, it will tighten up the wire reducing its size helping it go into the hole. (Thats what she said lol)
