I ran 4 gauge from the starter motor and 4 gauge from the fuse box. I ran them both to a distribution block and then 0 gauge to the battery.Running it under the car was alot easier then ripping the inside of the car apart.Also used a 150amp fuse. Not sure if that's a bit much or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pull >300 amps momentarilyy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one 4 gauge going to existing negative terminal up the front and one short negative cable in the boot bolted down. my car surges sometimes it stops and sometimes it starts the moment I slow down and stop at the lights just surges for 30 seconds then slowly stabilizes, if I chuck aircon and all the lights on and the revs start to surge and the lights go weak as it surges down and up any explanation ?? maybe I didnt earth right ?

Then sanded the paint to bare steel, and bolted the earth strap down hard , then gave it a shot of aerosol primer and then aerosol underseal top and bottom to keep it rust free. A good earth is key to success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
