Ok noob question..
Ok noob question..
Well I'm upgrading my stereo wiring to 0 gauge and so I have to change my ground wire to 0 gauge also.. The only problem is that there are two wires from my negative terminal right now. One goes to the engine block, this is what I am assuming I'll have to upgrade to 0 gauge. Is this correct?
There is also, what seems like 8 gauge wire going to a bolt above my headlight. This i'll just connect up again because it seems like it serves somewhat of a purpose. Do I need to upgrade this wire also? Or does the 0 gauge to the engine block good enough?
Thanks!

U should be able to just ground the amp with a zero in the trunk. My 4 gauge is all grounded in the trunk, shouldn't have to ground the battery, but if u have extra 0 gauge, u can ground your battery too, don't think u have to though, unless you're upgrading your alternator and power wires from that
you have to upgrade your battery ground to 0 gauge because if you have 0 gauge ground in the trunk the "current" or whatever won't be able to go to the battery through the 4 gauge ground.. i read an article somewhere about it.. but i'm just assuming since the thicker gauge is going to the engine then thats the one I need to upgrade

So leave the ground going to the engine alone and upgrade the wire going to the frame? Sounds logical
