^^^ my 0/1 gauge wanst really any harder then my 4 gauge. fit under the carpet nice, plus was as flexable(besides trying to pinch it) as the 4 too.

I doubt you would see more than a .3 db gain if any at all.

what if i also used 1/0 gauge for my ground wire, I was told that would also increase db?

i just installed 1/0 welding cable in my car and i found it just as easy as the "car audio" stuff.
id say if your trying to save money then welding cable is the best way to go

you see guys, in his car he only has 4 gauge and his amp is only grounded to the frame of the car in the trunk. there is no 'big 3' being done under the hood.

Order from them. $2.25 a foot for high strand 0 gauge, and they ship via USPS for Canadian orders so you won't get stung by customs.

You can additionally order other stuff you need too instead of one expensive kit. It also saves you from having tons of stuff left over in case you really don't need much.

Your ground wire should be equal to your power... if you're running two runs of 4 ga for power, then you should be having two 4 ga runs for ground as well. 0 ga for power, 0 ga for ground.

What exactly is the big three? and what is the benefit of doing them, safety or performance?

Thanks

performance. it helps alot. i had some dimming isuse and i just upgraded the batt-ground, and wow it really did help.

big 3: upgrading the wires from:
alt-ground
alt-batt
batt-ground.

I haven't had a problem with dimming lights, but I am having a problem getting more db's, did the wiring help get you louder?

Thanks, everyone who responded!!
