How many ft of 1/0GA?

[ShaneSauce 2]

I have a really small 2-door car.

I need a ballpark on how many ft of 1/0 to buy to do the big 3.

[RobClay 20]

17-18 ft should be perfect

can we know what kind of car it is?

a really small compact car is still sort of broad.

Is that all I need just the wire?

no your going to need some 1/0 ring terminals too, and as for the wire that would do prety much any vehicle good.

10ft for alt to battery+

4ft for batt to chassis

4ft for engine ground

[RobClay 20]

and to be specific on the 1/0 ring terminals youll need 6

If you havent done it yet... I used about 8 feet in my Accord and my brothers S10 took 5 feet... Battery ground can usually be under 1 foot his was 5 inches... If you get 10 feet you will most likely have plenty with careful routing.. but always better to have too much than not enough

Because cars are so different i would just get some wire or something and measure out each distance. Add it together add a couple feet. and buy more ring terminals than you need
