with the 2.5, 12 ft should get you there, depending on where you ground your upgraded negative battery terminal to chasis wire. With the 2.5, you need a bit more due to the awkward location of our alternator.

nope, I blew my Pro 60's 2 days ago...tried to pump too much midbass to them...

btw doc did u use a fuse for the alternator to bat+ ??

no, no fuse between alternator and battery, just keep the stock one, and add another one to the stock one.. i.e. you will now have two power cables from your battery to your alternator...the factory one with a 250 amp fuse, and that goes through the starter on the way to the alternator, and the new 0 gauge one dircectly from the battery t the alternator

yes, battery ground upgrade can be ANYWHERE on the chassis

Just curious as to whether or not you ever finished this??? I don't think I have a picture of all three parts of my Big 3... but I have a few...If I can ever remember to take my camera with me next time I'm under the hood, I'll get closer shots... but for now, heres a few pics...



Positive battery to Alternator... 0 gauge, blue wire... its hard as sin to get to the Alternator on the 3.5 due to its placement on the inferior part of the engine!



In this picture, you can see the dark grey 0 gauge wire coming off the negative battery terminal, and a light grey 0 gauge wire cruising along the radiator hose whihc goes over to the engine ground.

Again, I will have better pics up later!
