Imp558 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 I've been driving with the trunk mount for a while now, some of you guys saw it in Toledo. On the way back through Cleveland I got the rest of my trunk carpeting from Pull-A-Part West. Cleaned everything up at the car wash and finally got the trunk done so I have pics of the trunk to post that I'm not ashamed of: I've since slid a piece of split loom on the wire which makes it as natural as a big aluminium box in the trunk of a car can look. 95GS 1 Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Do you have an issue with low battery voltage? I wired mine up with 2g wire, and I was finally able to take the car out for a drive today, and I was only about 9-10v. I dunno if my alt is dying at the same time I did this swap but just seems odd.

Did you do a new large ground engine to frame? Also have to have a really good battery ground, I did mine to a double thick piece of the trunk floor. Edited August 15, 2014 by Imp558 Quote
95GS Posted November 16, 2016 Report Posted November 16, 2016 I noticed that doing the big 3 helps in start times and other random electronics. The Big 3. Could you explain this Nas? Does this refer to cables, if so which ones, and what gauge? Quote

Nas Escobar Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Posted November 16, 2016 The Big 3. Could you explain this Nas? Does this refer to cables, if so which ones, and what gauge? The "big 3" refers to 2 ground and a positive. You usually beef up your wire from the alternator to the battery, your ground from the battery to the chassis and ground the engine to the chassis. Most cars come with either 4 gauge or 8 gauge for those gauges. Upgrading to 0 gauge helps a lot. That's what I did to my old Grand AM. I did it on a 2001 Nissan Maxima too but that car has serious ground problems (The wires are notoriously small on the grounds). That one ended up being a big 5. Quote
