Has anyone tried this? or know if this really works?

 

Idk bout this one I'm not a mechanic but seems like all he is doing is changing the size of the wires, that doesn't mean that he is getting anymore power and unless you are running some really high power amps I don't belive you would need 0awg wire. But then again I'm not a mechanic or technician. Most vehicals that require that much power for sound systems normally have extra batteries

 

Yes it works! Your power and ground cables should always be the same size... Just don't do what some people do and run ground wires to every place in your truck... upgrading is all you need! Alot of people run 4 gauge (or smaller) to their amplifiers and the factory ground wires are only 8 gauge to the chassis!

 

so you have tried this before?

 

I did car audio for 11 years before I became a mechanic (13 years). Ground wires are as important as power wires.... the "circle of power"!

 

Hell I always thought of a good ground as being more important even. I run 2 awg for all my power and ground wires.

 

yeah it sure works i did this wenever i had my tahoe with all my audio equipment

 

Did anyone like how he was installing all this into an old dodge caravan? And then the reaction he had towards the car driving by haha. I thought that it was really amusing... I mean, dont get me wrong, he knew a little bit about car audio installs, but still... lol

 

my ground that came in the kit i bought was the same size as what ran to the amp from the batt

 

bigger wires are better. I have 2/0AWG for my ground and power wires, and 4AWG from my battery to my fuse box to my alternator, then I have a run of 2/0AWG from my engine block to my chassis.
