wiring...

im getting some 4 gauge stinger HPM wire for my system.

is this wire ok to use for the power AND ground? or is there a specific kind of wire for the ground?

also, would it be ok to change the stock wires that are connected to the battery with this same wire?

U can use the same 4 gauge for a ground, just don't get the colors mixed up, and ground your power wire to your car. I would just buy a 4 gauge battery wire kit if I were u, I wouldn't use it for your battery/alternator wires, but amp power and ground are fine.

Is there a reason you wouldn't use them for the battery wires?

I don't see why you couldnt use those wires to do the "Big 3" upgrade. Just makesure u dont confuse yourself if all the wire is the same color

I believe 4 Guage is adequate. You could go all out and go 0/1 Guage if you wanted, but your call
