engine wiring help

I think you need to have a much clearer understanding of automotive wiring, or find someone that does before you burn up the car.

That aside, one needs to diagram out the modifications to the electrical system, make a few calculations, properly size conductors, make provisions for over current protection (fuses), and then install it.

Keep in mind the bulkhead connector when new could not handle much amperage for any length of time; perhaps around 25 amps continuous. Any continuous high amp loads have to bypass the bulkhead connector, and be feed from a secondary power distribution point added to the factory electrical system. Also a charging circuit bypass, along with a higher capacity alternator will need to be installed to handle the increased load of a 200 amp sound system.



that is the objective of this thread. the problem is that the car is very close to getting painted and i dont really have the time to become an expert about wiring. i do have a professional to assemble the harness although hes in another state. ive tried to find someone local to help, but havent been able to. i read the article. it looks like its eliminating the gauge all together??, im pretty sure im going to have to go bigger gauge on all the wires including under the dash also.
