Postive post wires

Postby SleeperSolara » Thu Jul 21, 2005 12:15 pm

Has anyone takin' apart the positive post wires??
It would be the started power wire, and 2 wires that are 8 gauge that go to the fuses box.
Has anyone takin' or looked at the 2 small wires that go to the fuse box; to see what they look like.
Cause i'm goin to replace those tiny OEM wires for beefy wires.
Was goin to get an RF positive post clamp for the power side of the battery.
Thanks

i upgraded all my cables to 4 ga but i did not do so to the two 8? 10? ga wires at the positive terminal..i dont think it is necassary but hey what do i know..

what is you reason for doing this?if you are installing amps etc..

you will want to get a block that has either
1 4ga
1 0ga
and 2 8ga

or

2 4ga
2 8ga

also be careful what you replace going to the fuse box..you could damage something in there.

if it is better charging/more power for add on electronics you are after you will want to upgrade the following wires

add a cable from positive alt to positive batt w/ 120amp fuse by batt end

replace batt- to chassis with cable

replace batt- to engine with cable

(i also ran a cable from engine to chassis)

Well i was goin to add an amp later.
Was goin to use a post clamp that is: 1 for 0/1 gauge; 2 for 8 gauge; and 1 for 4 gauge.
I was goin to hook the 0/1 gauge for the starter.
Then the 2 small wires for the 8 gauge wires that come off the battery.
I was wonderin' what is the other end of teh 2 small OEM 8 gauge wire looked like.
