If i bought that.. ran it to the rear battery do you guys think it would be ok ? or do I have to litteraly tear my whole system apart and redo all of the wiring? Because that's what im thinking about doing.

what else would i need ? it comes with an ANL fuse holder..

Or would i rather get

You have some safety issues so at this point I would tear it all down until you can do it safely. The first thing would be to do the big 3. Then work your way back.

SOOO.. after a while of saving.. i ended up purchasing a spool of SHCA 1/0 OFC to replace my RF OFC 4 gauge.. but then i noticed my lights would dim alot worse then when i had the RF 4 gauge so i went ahead a tore all my set up apart again... took a multiplier and noticed my

voltage would drop from 13.2v charging to 11.3v .. yikes.. so it think its about time to do the big three.. and buy a third battery.. but for now the big three

Did you sand the ground on the first pic here? I see its a factory ground, but my factory ground on my explorer had paint, was JW. Also the big 3 its pretty simple, i dont think there is a set guide to the big 3 for specific cars. A run from Batt+ to Alt+, A run from Batt- to Frame/Body (preff. both imo) and a run from Batt- to Engine (I used alt bracket for mine).

KnuKoncept makes good fuse blocks but you have to know how to install the wire the right way in them. I run there battery terminals and you need to be good at installing the wire into the compression fitting. Been running them for over a year no issues at all.
