big 3?

[remark]

whats up guys. i have 0 gauge run for my stereo and am trying to do "the big 3" which consists of upgrading your battery + to alternator +, battery ground to chassis ground and engine ground to battery ground with heavier gauge wire.

does anyone know how i would go about grounding the engine to the battery ground? i have already done the other 2 wires. thanks

Engine mount top bolt

probably a dumb question but wheres that at?

At the place where the engine mount mounts to the engine.

Really only limited by your imagination there...

 

[remark]

i guess i could just mount it anywhere on the block?

 

[Sapperfire]

Yes, I just gave you the hardest bolt to get to

 

[remark]

I say mount it to the main crankshaft pulley. Dead center power there...

all the friction creates extra voltage yo

:lol: You guys are terriable!!!! :lol:


Since I am not running a massive setup I did a simple setup after I broke the factory ground strap. I ran a 4awg ground from the timing cover to the passenger side wheel well. Since the alt is bolted to the timing cover I figured it would offer the path of least resistance. Then I have a 4awg running from the driver side motor mount (on the block)to the battery terminal. Then I have another 4awg wire running to th rad support from the battery. Seems to work well for me but I only have a JL Audio 500/5.

self tapping screw to the oil pan should do the trick
