94retta(219) Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 The people who are saying its "better" to ground to the car then useing wire.. Couldnt be more wrong. Battery termanals are actully backwords. The current flows from neg. to pos. a low grade metal frame is going to be worse then a copper wire, unless you drive a car that has an alloy frame. Keep the 2 runs but upgrade the wire! BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy101 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yes, I believe it's outdoor wire...like the shit you run underground and stuff. It's EXTRA hard to bend...and it's probably only got about 20 - 30 strands inside of it. It's 6 gauge wire from lowes... Should I order this? http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KOL-AK4 But, would that fuse be fine for my amp? Should I go lower? I have a 60 amp fuse inline right now, which I think will take 4 gauge wire. First System 2002 Impala LS 3.8L V6, 128,365k miles.

94retta(219) Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 It could be wrong but i read that the terminals are marked backwords so it doesnt freak people out that there sitting/touchin pos.
