osamio Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Do the big three upgrade and get yourself one GOOD main battery.. youll be set. This Big 3 will do wonders, Then a good battery under the hood. I have the engine block ground, and battery-chassis ground done, but the battery is in the trunk, so i haven't gotten around to running the alternator charge wire yet. I'm thinking about having a shop do it cause it's a pain in the ass. Where should i take it? a mechanic or like, an audio place? We have best buy and ultimate electronics but i don't think they would do that would they? should i have a mechanic do it?

Rebel4055 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 You will spend a good chunk of money to have a installer run that wire. Probably DOUBLE what you paid for the wire.

It's a pain tho. There is NO WAY i'm gonna be able to fish a 0 gauge wire through the factory location. It's tiny. I'm gonna have to run it under trim panels and stuff. Second, the alternator terminal is under the air intake, so i'm gonna have to remove that, or come from under the car, which i can't even tell if it's accessible, and i don't have a lift or blocks anyway. I think it would be easier to just take it to a shop, like, even with the cost involved.

If you are still going to have a installer do it, do NOT take it to bestbuy. Edited January 15, 2011 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.

And i wasn't planning on it, i was thinking i'd take it to an alternator shop or my mechanic. whoever will do it cheaper.

You would take it to a audio installer more than likely. Quote Rest In Peace mother.
