CleanSierra Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 If I were you, I'd get the box done first. Build it yourself of find a buddy with the correct tools. Also, doing the grounds yourself is easy peasy. You just need a torch, some rosin core solder, some 1/0 gauge wire and some 1/0 terminals. What car are you doing this on? How much are you looking to spend right now. I think I can get you Big 3'd AND a box close to the price of the DD1 Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Crandis16 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 or you can do it by yourself. about $20-$30 for 1/0 gauge ring terminals $20-30 for 1/0 gauge wire (for me anyway) I was hesitant at first but I found some help from other people and planned out how I was going to do it first. The hardest part was hooking it up to the alternator really Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentTyler Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I didn't have any confidence doing the big 3 myself but trust me, its much easier than what you think it will be. Took me about an hour and a half to make sure it was done right.
