Afficionado Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 I'm upgrading the wire from my alternator to my battery and the wire from the battery under the hood to the battery in my trunk. I have a 1995 toyota corolla and i believe the stock alternator only produces 70 amps. What would you guys suggest for a wire size for this application? If you have any questions relating to nutrition, lifting, or health in general, feel free to give me a PM and I will give you straight forward advice with no BS involved.
ToNasty Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 4awg should be fine. ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
graham0599 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 I'd suggest 1/0AWG. It never hurts to have extra and it's not much more expensive. Also it'll give you a little headroom for upgrades My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678

michigancapri92 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 0awg now instead of 4 awg now and then 0 awg later when you want to upgrade again when you want to get louder which you will want to HAHA Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED
Afficionado Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 damn, i was thinking 2 gauge. but it's a good point. everyone on this forum knows that at some point i'll have the money to get louder. better to do it right the first time and then not have to do it a second time.

Afficionado Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 also, does the brand have a great effect? any brands or places to buy from people would suggest?

boom50cal Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 1/0 Welding cable from a local welding supply store, or some Knu KCA 1/0 would do fine. 20 ft is more than enough for the big 3, doesn't hurt to have extra if you accidentally cut a bit too much.

ToNasty Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Welding wire would.be the best. Or even some ofc wire from knukoncepts or sundownonly ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
Afficionado Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 when dealing with this wire should i be weary of no name wire from online? or is it generally pretty safe to get the wire from whomever?
