white4d96 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 My friend gave me a 4-gauge wiring kit he pulled from a car he is selling. The kit is kinda chopped up, so I'm wondering how to splice the pieces together. Pieces are as follows: (all Streetwire Power Stream 4) - about 12ft. red, bare ends - about 5ft red, ring terminals both ends, Fosgate 100A fuse in middle -15" red, one bare, one ring - black, which are long enough, 1 bare, 1 ring each. Can I just find a huge butt-splice somewhere and crimp these wires together? or should I find another way to connect them? Quote Too many projects, too little time...
fritosaregood Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Lowes has some connectors like you looking for, it connects the butts of two wires together with some machine scews. like how most amp power terminals are. You could use this to connect the two wires, then put a few layers of heat shrink around it. How long do need the wire. you could use the 15" to run to the fuse, then the 12' to the amps Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970
white4d96 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Posted April 8, 2009 The fuse is smack dab in the middle of the 5 footer. Quote Too many projects, too little time...
fritosaregood Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 take the fuse holder out of that wire, it should be closer the battery anyway. do you know how long you need the wire to be, to make it to your trunk (you have a car right?)

white4d96 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) ...its going in a horse :01nocomment8so: Yea, Im not 100% as to the length, IIRC my current 8ga. setup was 20ft. and it was plenty of wire, went to where my amp rack will be when I restructure. So I think I will have plenty. EDIT: in all seriousness, 1996 Grand Prix 4-door. Edited April 8, 2009 by ktownsdriftking Quote Too many projects, too little time...

fritosaregood Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 i meant more for car, truck or suv. because a truck wouldnt need to be as long usually look around at a lowes in there wire section for the butt splicers, and cover it in some layers of heatshrink. or you could get some more 4 gauge wire. Ebay should have good 4 gauge that shouldnt be too expensive.
