    i ran 2/0 welding cable. stereo wire isnt designed for the ampacity and heat. Welding cable is much more durable and stronger insulation jacket. Plus the strands are different then the super flimsee stereo stuff

    i have 2/0 from battery to redbox, i have 2/0 from battery to frame, i have 2/0 from motor to frame. I have 8 guage for alternator and have no issues what soever with a 102amp alternator. My battery cable goes from back by roll pan to front of truck.

    i run EWP which draws alot of current constantly ,Efans, stereo and other electric add ons and i never drop below 14v

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    i used 2 gauge battery cables from autozone on top of factory stuff. I don't have a ground in the front...that might be the problem.

    Big 3 actually works vs a capacitor thats adding another point of resistance... just my 2 cents.

    Exactly. Caps are band-aids for big problems.
