cubs_fan0718 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) Keep ur OEM stuff on and just ADD to it. Never get rid of the OEM stuff no matter if ur planning on keeping it cause u never know u might decide to sell it, then whats the next person gonna have?

nicor6 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Oh ok..the reason also i was asking this is because i got me self a tsunami battery terminal and its got 2 1/0 gauge connection and 2 4 gauge connections..and i will be kinda short of space to put the factory wires!! and i thought it would be wise to ask who knows more about it! YOU GUYS!!! SMD people FTMFW!!! so now it seems..I must get rid of that battery terminal post?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can drop the oem wires and will work fine with just the 0awg , we just suggest you don't.

Gotloud555 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Don't forget to fuse the wire beside the battery... You wouldn't want to start fire works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
