Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 3191 Registered: Jan-06 | "not everyone can be as rich as u polo" Far from being rich and has nothing to do with using the wrong connectors for a particular job. I merely stated that you should have soldered them on which you could still do by heating with a propane torch while wicking in rosin core solder until it drips out of the eye loop. I didn't mean to be a critic just want to help prevent future problems that could arrise from such a decision, sorry... Polo.. |

Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Audioque 12 SD2.5s, Earthquake P... Post Number: 1541 Registered: Dec-06 | twiztid i bought 10 ft of wire. I had enough for all the big 3 and the ground on my amp. Im getting 15-20 more ft for the power wire for my amp and to wire up my second batt when i get it. polo wut do u mean they are closed end? jayem it doesnt matter cuz i grounded that battery to the frame so it would be a waste of wire if i grounded it also to the frame. If the batt is groiunded to the frame and the alt is grounded to the batt then by elimination its alt to frame sorta...u get the point BTW it is a Iraggi Amputator series 220/175 idle twiztid heres a link to chevy alts: http://search.stores.ebay.com/iraggi_Parts-Accessories_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQcatrefZC 6QQfmmkZchevyQQfobfmtZ1QQfromZR10QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ3QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQsabfmtsZ2QQsa catZ6028QQsaobfmtsZsifonlyQQsbrsrtZdQQsofpZ4 just look though them and get the one that says they are for s series trucks. also when u order jsut give them the year make model engine size of or truck so they can make it right. Also get amputator series. they are more expensive but better quality and higher idle output. thats y i got the 220/175 cuz if i moved higher like 240 the idle amps go lower and alotta times im listening at stop signs etc... mine was like 360 shipped |
