snafu Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Long awaited, these are finally DONE! I'm REALLY happy with the way these kits came out. As most of you know, I'm a super stickler for details. I tried numerous side post adapters before deciding that none of them met my expectations. So, I modified one to get the results I was looking for and it REALLY works well! [Click on any of the pics to view a larger version.] Here is a pic of the complete kit: Here is what a finished installation will look like (the upgraded charge lead is stacked on the top): Note how you can EASILY fit two 1/0 AWG cables with SUPER THICK lugs on the adapters - one the included upgraded charge lead, the other your main power wire to your amps. As usual, I only use tin-plated OFC cable that meets the American Wire Gauge specification for all of my kits. All lugs are SUPER thick tin-plated copper (about three times the weight of standard lugs). All lugs are crimped with our in-house crimping press and then insulated with our SUPER thick adhesive lined heat shrink tubing to promote a weather resistant connection! The 3 foot 1/0 AWG Side Post Big 3 Kit sells for $100.95 and includes: (1) 3 foot 1/0 AWG Charge Lead - 5/16" lug on each end (1) 3 foot 1/0 AWG Alternator Ground Lead - 3/8" lugs on each end (case / mounting bolt of alt to frame) (1) 2.5 foot 1/0 AWG Battery Ground Upgrade Lead - 5/16" lug on one end, 3/8" on the other (battery negative (-) to frame) (1) 2 foot 8 AWG Accessory Ground Upgrade Lead - 5/16" lug on one end, and 1/4" lug on the other (battery negative (-) to body) (1) Pair Platinum Plated Side Post Adapters All associated hardware Step-by-step instructions with full-color photos The 4 foot 1/0 AWG Side Post Big 3 Kit sells for $112.95 and the first two cables listed are each one foot longer. The 5 foot 1/0 AWG Side Post Big 3 Kit sells for $124.95 and the first two cables listed are each two feet longer. As with all of our charging system upgrade kits, we offer a Rockford Fosgate ANL Fuse Holder and correctly sized fuse (based on the size of your alt) for the charge lead to protect on-board electronics in the event that the alternator experiences voltage run-away. This is a $50.00 upgrade and that includes the fuse as well as an additional foot of cable for the charge lead so that you can find a nice spot to mount the fuse holder (no you can't tie it to a wiring harness) and make a nice clean run to the battery.

snafu Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 SMD Members tasked me to come out with more economical solutions for the Big 3 - I heard you guys loud and clear. This kit will be fully compatible with our up and coming Add-A-Battery kit, for those of you that are also considering adding a battery or two in the rear of your vehicle.
