scooter99 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 You can fix that with a pair of side cutters, or tin snips, or for a cleaner look, a dremel with a cut off wheel. Just cut it off. That's how I did mine, and a lot of people are doing theirs. Nice work btw, keep it up! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 The big 3 got finished with a dremel. Cut it half way so the rubber boot could still cover the terminal. 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Well, nice work then! I should've done that when I did mine, but I wasn't thinking back then. I'm all about the details now. But I also replaced that oem wire with a 4ga cable all the way back to the box. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 i still have dimming lights, but im pretty sure thats because the wires that go to the lights are about as thick as a human hair. i mean honestly every wire under the hood is just boiling hot except the 1/0 i ran. 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlh2003 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 very nice! just a fyi, you can fit a d3400 or group 34 size battery in the stock location with slight modification of the battery tray and a new tie down. I have the Injen CAI on my 06 LX and I am still able to fit a d3400. http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=88276 AlphaDamp CLD Tiles - Get more sound deadening using less sound deadener http://www.secondskinaudio.com/products/AlphaDamp.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Injen CAI on my 06 LX and I am still able to fit a d3400. LOL?! fuckin really? alright, would it make a difference if the battery tray is welded to the frame? i was going to pull it out and clean it up a little, but its tac welded to the top of the main frame. and since its not reverse polarity, would i have to lengthen the positive wire any? i can redo the ground, no big deal.. but the positive stuff. 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlh2003 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 no, it should be fine unless you made a new battery tray.... i have a 06 lx sedan so stock battery tray should be the same, you really just have to bend the sides wider where the hooks for the tie down go. The stock wires will reach but prob will be tight, you just have to pop the clips that hold down the wiring. I extended my stock wiring using some good 4ga, soldered and heatshrinked. here are a few pics: had a yellowtop grp34 before the d3400... BELOW:If you look you can see the white stock wire connected to the red 4ga and then see it connected in the 2nd pic below thats the stock wiring d3400 has better terminals on it now but now new pic http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=88276 AlphaDamp CLD Tiles - Get more sound deadening using less sound deadener http://www.secondskinaudio.com/products/AlphaDamp.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
