Nate Futuristic Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Question: I ordered Sky High 1/0 CCA because its all that was in stock, many runs of 1/0 should i run from the positive post on the alternator to the battery? I was thinking 2 or 3 considering its CCA. Opinions please and thanks! 2 should do it OK, so on the ground from inbetween the alt and engine back to battery, should there be 2 runs of ground there also? wouldn't 2 1/0 terminals make the alt mounted off center? Being that the 2 terminals would be on top of eachother where the alt grounds to the engine if you got the wire do as many grounds as possible.. i tihnk i watch your video with all them 4 gauge grounds.. like you said you can never have to many (in most cases lol) more will not hurt but im sure you could get awaly with 1 run of 1/0 cca for ground on power ( their such a short length ) down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups ^^ Cant wait to swalllow Ghost's babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4killer_ Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 You could use a single run of like 3/0 welding cable. Or mount the lugs of the outside if the alt casing..as long as the lugs still make good contact with the bolt which makes good contact with the motor mount obvi. It should be good.

P4killer_ Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just sand it all down. Make sure the alt casing is clean. The bolt is nice and clean etc. And obviously don't stack the 1/0 lugs on top of eachother.. try to make em lay flat on top of e.o like one lug to the left the other 45 degrees to the right like / \ not like one on top the other like II if that makes sence Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
