Hey all
I cannot find this asked anywhere, I can find the question "how do I get my red positive cable through the firewall" asked like 100 times, but cannot find anyone asking about the white earth cable.
so, where does everyone bolt their earth cable to on a VT/VX/VY/VZ?
also ...
- I know to match cable sizes, but is it a better idea to go one better on the earth cable, for instance if I'm putting in an 8ga cable positve should I be making the earth 4ga, or just keeping it 8ga?
- would I be smarter to run the earth cable back to the battery alongside the power cable, or at least run it to the engine bay and bolt it to something decent? or is there a decent point in the boot of the car?
and what the hell, while I'm here ... question about this amp Jaycar Electronics
... would i be better running 4ga straight into it seeing as its a 5 channel amp, or would this be too much for it? Im on holidays and re-wiring the car, so while the old stuff is stripped out Im trying to work out whether to replace it with bigger cable (4ga) or not (currently 8ga power cable)
cheers
