upgrading "big 3"

scosche efx also had a good line but i dont think electromania brings it any more

its easy to tell

just look at the thichness of the wire inside the insulation and check the flexibility of the cable
the more flexible it is most of the time the more strands the cable has

Big 3 with 4g or 0g wire ? ...

was discussing this & wanted to get more views

would it be a credible difference using 0g instead of 4g wire to do big 3 ???

is 0g overkill because d distance is only about 4ft from alt to batt or will depnd on how powerful ur amps are ??? ........ Confused

yeah, if the price of copper is on the increase everyday, and you see prices remaining the same, look out, its either you getting short changed on your wire, or thats a mighty fine Company whose willing to take a big hit for its customers.

might as well put d 0 so u wont have to worry about upgrading it in d future

let me ask a ? here :

for serious SPL vehicles , is doing a even bigger wire from d ho alt to engine batt from 0g to a 2\0 or 3\0 going to make even any slight voltage or current transfer improvements , even a 0.1 or 0.2v difference ???? .... Confused

Depending on current draw and the battery bank you suppling I guess.

But most fart box applications Ive seen they bypass the factory batt and go straight to the back battery bank with multiple runs of wire.

as for covering the ground points for rusting,i use spray silicone,works well so far

^ How often do you use 0awg on stock alternators?

How often has there been a failure?

kurpal_v2, what do you mean by failure? of what?

If you using zero gauge and have a problem with the small hole on the crimp end then get a drill, lock the end in a table vise and bore it out. I did this many times.
