Big 3 Upgrade


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just ordered 1/0 gauge welding wire from WeldingSupply.com to do this upgrade (my volts drop down to about 11 or 10 when I rolling up/down the windows & sometimes on loud bass hits). Shipping only took 1 day to receive.

 

This was much cheaper than getting actual power wire, total cost for 4-ft red 1/0 gauge & 8-ft black 1/0 gauge & 8 1/0 gauge ring terminals was $45.

 

Install was simple: battery positive to alternator w/ 200amp fuse in-between, ground from fusible-link bracket to ground bolt on firewall, & battery negative to chassis ground.

The biggest reason I did this was because the lights would dim when I held the window switches up after they were rolled up (just to very they were up all the way), w/ bass hits it would decrease a little but now it barely drops below 14.2 volts on those hits. The video just represents the windows being rolled-up...
