trjohnst Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Instead of buying more 1/0 Knu wire, I was wondering how much if a difference it would make if I did 4awg wire on my Big 3 upgrade rather than 1/0awg wire. I was planning on using my Rockford 4awg wire or the other 4awg I have to do this, but didnt know how big a difference it would be if I did that rather than using 1/0awg wire.

trjohnst Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Well it's an older car (91 Accord) and I am running a Crescendo BC2000D, so it needs a lot of help. I know I need an alternator and more but who knows how much longer this car is gunna last.

crispy_chick3n Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 thats how i was with my jeep. i did the big 3 which was a PITA, i had started to get the car build ready, and i even had some of the mdf cut and ready to go in the car when the timing chain snapped. i was pissed, but one thing i am proud to say is that i had done everything correctly. electrical, and interior modifications. i was able to undo everything i did, and put the car back to normal and sell it. i guess what i am trying to get across is whatever you decide to do, do it right, or it will come back to bite you in the ass. in your case with the Crescendo BC2000D i would cough up the extra cash and use 1/0 it will make your life easier down the road.
