About to do the big 3...

[Mar424]

before I do it i want to ask some questions so I am sure of what I will be doing..

1) The wires i need to upgrade are:
-battery ground to chassis
-battery positive to alternator positive
-engine block to chassis

correct?

2) My system is only going to be running a 1000 watt memphis amp, would I
be good to just run 4 gauge for the big 3, or just run 0 gauge?

3) Is anybody familiar with a 1994 honda accord? if soo
-where is the engine block to chassis wire?
-is there a stock fuse from the alternator to battery? (i think i see a fuse
box but im not sure)
-whats the best way to run the wire from the alternator to the battery?

Red- The red arrow goes from the battery ground to where the red X is

Green- This is a bolt on the engine, can I run a wire from the arrow to the green X, and that be the engine block to chassis?

Purple- The purple arrow is the battery positive to the alternator, the wire goes into the purple X, is this a fuse box?

you can run ground wires pretty much wherever you want.

the fuse block is that black box on the EXTREME top let o that pic. The stock alt is used or 100 amps.

The big 3 are in addition to the wires you already have, not a replacement.

OK, so im adding on not replacing, gotcha

but running a wire to the green X is ok?

Green should be ok as long as you sand it down to bare, shiny metal.

Your Batt. positive goes to the ALT postive terminal, look on your ALT to find a rubber boot, pull it back and youll see a bolt and cable, thats where you add the cable to. Recommend 1/0 gauge if possible, if not 4ga will work.

Your car might not have a stock chassis to block wire. Just find a bolt on the block and put it there.

yea, I have an old CRX and I will have to add some wires too
