raytard Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 that ebay wire says 13 mil, which is like 5/0 wire...which means its all bullshit cheap wire is usually like say 4guage labled as 0guage with a thick jacket on it you dont think of it, but when you're pulling 100-200amps through there and that shit melts and catches fire, you'll be kicking yourself for not spending the extra 20-40 bux for good stuff, power wire isnt something to pinch pennies on IMO http://cgi.ebay.com/KnuKonceptz-Metallic-B...:1|293:1|294:50 knukoncepts is great wire, and pretty darn cheap too....monster is (atleast in my opinion and experience) slightly bigger and therefore better, but not worth the cost difference. knu ftw and keep - as large as +, Few people realize this but the electrons flow from your car, through the - wire/terminal, and then back to the battery via the +...but current goes the other way...some weird thing back in the day when they were discovering electricity. the ground is as important, if not more important, than the + wire, make it big, and make it to BARE METAL, chassis/frame perferably, scrape and buff it until its shiney, no paint/rust/etc. Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPagan Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 You can use 8 gauge power wire as speaker wire, thats what a lot of us use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamenNoodles Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Do the big 3 and get a battery when you have some extra cash. Use at least 4 gauge for amp wiring and 0 gauge for big 3.
