detailed stereo installation?
#44
Ah, anyone done this to their neon?
looks relatively simple; however still can see lots of room for error, which i cant afford...
Biggest help would be the best grounds, and would 4awg (maybe 2awg - maybe even 1/0) wire be best for a neon with a 1000w amp (i have 8awg to the amp)
thanks a lot for the help with the big 3, looks basically mandatory for lots of cases!
now for help to install it all

For the amp/subs? I can...I'll just have to go take the seat out later :P As for the gauge of wire, bigger wire can hold more voltage/amps. If you can afford the 1/0, it wouldn't hurt to go with that. Where the factory pieces are grounded should be fine. You are simply wanting to upgrade to a bigger wire that can handle more demanding electrical usage.

yeah, a picture of the ground for the amp is what im aiming for a picture, i looked at the alternator... that looks like a bitch to get to...
but the rest dont look too difficult..
im thinking arond 15-20 feet of wire would get the job done for the big 3...
If i did it, what type of connectors should i be looking for? should i get new battery terminals? my system runs 1000w on 8 gauge fine i know the systems gets the power, but the big 3 look like the best option.
EDIT: I found this... looks like my best bet: http://cgi.ebay.com/MONSTER-CABLE-14...ht_3661wt_1165

I'll get you a picture for sure, just trying to hopefully wrap up my current issues with the Neon.
That amount of wire should be plenty. I have seen that 15' should be plenty. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get extra anyways just in case.
The connectors you will want would probably be ring terminals so they can be bolted down just like the ones that are there now.
