They are referring to the big three wire upgrades.


Most important is the Big ONE.. Upgrade your battery ground from the dinky 10ga to at least 4ga..

Many people will run a 4ga or 1/0Ga for power and leave the factory ground. which makes little sense! [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

I use 1/0 Throughout my system regardless of current draw.

^^^I am guilty of that, although I have never really experienced major current draw to dim my lights only main reason I haven't touched mine yet. If I ever get my system in which at this pace I am on should be never but I will prob upgrade it eventually.

Oh should I update my previous post, my buddy finally did something right and apparently did his alternator upgrade and wiring instead of everything *** backwards like the norm.

Get that wire changed up right away dude. Watch, scratch that, listen to what will happen to your system.

^^^ Even though not dimming the lights or showing major draw, I would still notice the change?

Remember Current has to complete to ground to finish a curcuit. It all starts from the battery.
