zip tied the block ground to the strut bar









street wires battery terminals, stinger gold posts. I still need to put the ground battery terminal on. Other than that it's complete. Got a solid reading of 14.35, haven't tested it with the bass bumping.

bonus picture the love of my life...

Update. Ground battery terminal is on. Now have a reading of 14.5v. Stays pretty consistent with bass on

EBay. 50ft of ground.50ft of power. The ground was 60. The power was 90. It's not as many strands as I would like but its much better than stock. Used techflex over the wire to protect it from the heat.

Yeah, that techflex really cleans up the job and makes for a very nice install. Now please tell me you soldered the ring terminals to the wire...or at least used a hydraulic crimper.

Used vice grips to tighten it up nice. And yes I soldered them. Gave them a nice tug to test. They're not going anywhere.

yeah i had that problem with 1\0, i had to redo half of my terminals because the crimps were bad, it's a real pain to get a good crimp.i just googled up the tool thats really suposed to be used, they range from 75$ to 170$ really only thing that can do involves a hydrolic cyl. so yeah they can get pricy. :|
