anybody no where the engine ground in a 03 monte carlo ss
#7
It's making the wires a heavier duty for these 3 components
1) Alternator positive cable that runs to the positive terminal of the battery
2) Negative battery cable that runs from the battery to the vehicles chassis
3) Chassis grounding cable that runs to the engine block

big 3
ya like chibiblacksheep said u upgrade the wires to 0ga or 4 ga and u get 25%-35% more power and 2-5 more horse power im doing it cuz i have a 7000 watt stereo in my car

5 more horsepower from upgrading ground and power wire sizes? lol I don't think so
and I hate to say it- but if you really have a true 7000 watt system, you're going to need to do a lot more than upgrade the 'big 3'. 7000 watts into 12 volts, is like 585 amps. Even if that is 100% class D sub amps, and you've got no main amps, they're still only 90% or so efficient- so that would give you an actual draw of 650 amps- that's a TON of power. 4 gauge is going to be nowhere near sufficient for that, and I'd imagine you'll have to either run dual alternators, or at least a larger alternator adapted in.
