big 3 question

[SouthPole1989 0]

hi, i am wondering is doing the big 3 in 4 guage enough for a 2400 rms system? i know using a thicker wire is better but i would like to use stock type connects and the biggest side terninal battery wire is 4 guage that i can find unless i can find like 2 guage then i might be stuck using 4 guage.

4ga is better than nothing.

http://www.knukonceptz.com/ has "stock type" connects. Get the 1ga and do it right.

Nope, not even close. You need 1/0 minimum, but I might go bigger. Your power wires to your amps distro block better be as well otherwise you really shouldn't even come close to trying to run your amps.

i find somewhat what i am looking for http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Insulated...9162&sr=8-2

i wanted something more like this style http://www.1aauto.com/1A/BatteryCable/GMC/...3504-040/347625

the only thing bad is that a have a top post terminal that has 3 5/16th opening and those come with 3/8th

Why are you looking for pre-fabbed?

Buy 1/0 welding cable & 1/0 welding lugs & black heatshrink then make your own...

Here are the terminals for your battery too: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=GMBT

i am converting to a top post since i am going to use a kinketik hc1400 under the hoad. and i am looking for prefabbed because i want to get rid of the me factor.

Then pay someone to do it. Buying premade wires isn't going to help you a whole lot.

Another option (i.e. what I did on my truck) is that you can run a piece of string from connection point to connection point. Run it a bit loose since it won't be 1/0 string and then go to your local welding supply store and have them make you 1/0 with connectors on the end for the exact length of wire that you need.

I am concerned that if you are trying to get rid of the "me factor" in doing the simplest part of an install that perhaps you should be paying someone to do the whole thing.

well i did it once and it is not bad i actully got a complament on it from my mechinc that i go to but but on my ground ones it looks like it might be starting to come out of the terminal even though. and by the getting rid of me factor i also mean that i don't have the proper tools or anything like when i did it the first time i used a bench clamp i think thats what it is called and then to make sure it was tight i wacked it with the hammer a few times.
