DudeWith4x4 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 If your factory ground wire follows the same as mine, you ground wire actually goes to the block/transmission ground then goes to the frame. BUUUUUT I have a 4.2 and a 98, things could be totally different for you. Yeah mines the 5.4 and a 99. I bet they are very similar. I didn't know the wire was that long. Thanks for the heads up man Quote -Ross Project Layla Truck: 99' F-150 Gathering things for my next build.

Thanks for the heads up man No problem at all. I was really surprised when I started looking at mine, sort of caught me off guard!

LoudBurp Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 You should only need 8 terminals. 4 for the positive and 2 on each ground wire. But it is always good to have extra. I bought cadence wire, and my fuses from audiosavings.com/ paid $50 for 20 feet of 0 gauage and 10x fuses. look at darvex.com for a fuse holder, I got mine there. How did you like the wire? Meets up to AWG and flexible and such? I bought the cadence wire from audio savings as well. It is good wire, as long as the jacket is a frosted color. See, they put different wire in their kits vs. when you buy specific lengths. Their shiny jacket has a smaller thread count, where as their frosted jacket has alot better wire/jacket ratio. The stuff off the spool is frosted. The only complaint I have about it though, is that I believe it is CCA. When you cut it, it is a silver color istead of being all copper color. Other than that the wire has great flexibility. I have used this wire on many different occasions because of its price and, overall it is excellent wire. Just stay away from their amp kits, because like I said before they use a different quality wire in them. Quote Best of Luck and Cheers! There is a point of diminishing returns on the amount of equipment installed, kinda like throwing money out a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
