Big 3

Has anyone ever added bigger wire from the alternator to the battery(trunk)if you have i would really like your insight on this project because I have started a build in this car but I need to add a battery or pull bigger wire and do an alternator before I add a second Amp.

Thanks

Its been done many times before. Just be sure to fuse it near the alt and near the batt.

Anyone got pictures?

not sure why you need pix, however..... run a length of wire from back of alt, to batt (I think you said your stock batt is in rear possibly) then do the needed grounds, and your BIGIII is complete. Remember, your not removing any factory wire, just adding onto what is currently there....

Thanks, What gauge wire do you recommend adding?

Biggest you can get your hands on/fit in your car. Most people use 1/0; I used 4 because, frankly, that was/is all I could afford.

Hopefully this is my last dumb question for the day... If you only had money to do one (like me right now) what would you do first add a cable or add a battery?

you need cable for a second battery. But to answer your question, I'd add the cable (big 3) because it's generally cheaper

x2 ^^^^ it will help once you get the second battery too :-)

big lll should hold you until you get enough for your battery/more wire
