Cardboardcat15 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Not exactly sure about your question, but this might help. With the big 3, you're not replacing your stock wiring. You're adding to it. Leave your stock wiring in there, and just add the 1/0 runs on top of that. Get some ring terminals for the wire you use for the big 3, and new battery posts that has a bolt you can attach the ring terminals to. That will solve your connection issues. Voltmeter goes like this. Positive to wherever you want the readout from (I.E> battery or amp) Neg to ground And then the remote turn on to any switching power source.

LZTYBRN Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 oh and where do i need to run voltmeter to for now? since im not powering the amp up yet since it wont push anything for a few weeks Just run the wires to where your amp is going to be and leave it disconnected till then. When you install your amp, connect the voltmeter to your amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZTYBRN Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Well shit it doesn't have a remote turn on? You'll either need to wire it with a switch to the battery, or to an acc wire or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiKaZz74 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 ^^^ what would u suggest running it to on an acc? run it radio?
