2000 civic ex big 3 question alt to batt +
I noticed when I was measuring for the wires that there is no wire that runs from the battery + to alternator... Just 2 wires run to the battery positive which comes from fuse box and starter i believer... Now do I just add that wire? Or im i just confused...
One other question, is it okay to stack wires on ring battery terminals? Because I need something that can hold 4 wires(fog light, big 3, amp, starter/fuse box)... So i was wondering if i can put 2 wires on each ring terminal... They are heavy duty battery terminals if that matters... Thanks

Re: 2000 civic ex big 3 question alt to batt +
I hope I can shed some light on your questions..
First - you are correct, the wire from the alternator goes to the fuse box. When doing the Big 3 upgrade, don't "add" wires, simply replace the existing wires. So when you're done all you should have are three wires that are larger gauge than the original wires in the same place as the original wires.
Second - I'm not sure what you mean by your second question. Are you asking if you can add wires to your battery terminal? Like a wire for fogs, amp, power and starter? The answer to that is yes. Make sure each wire has a fuse and you should be fine. I have fogs, amp, power, starter, and bixenon HID's off my battery (which has the big three upgrade) and I have no problems.

The first question... Since there is no wire running from the battery positive to alternator... i just add it right?
The second question... I was just wondering if I get a 2 ring battery terminal... If I can stack 2 wires on each ring...

First question - NO. The wire that runs to your fuse box from your alternator IS that wire. you do not "add" any wires. As I said before, you are not adding any wires, you are simply replacing the wires that are already there.
Second question - Yes. As I said before I have multiple wires connected to my positive and negative terminals. On my positive I have an amp, fog lights, Bi-Xenon HIDs, and Big 3 upgraded wires to the fuse box and starter. On my negative terminal I have the grounds for my Bi-Xenon HIDs, and an upgraded Big 3 wires.

I have a question myself, do I need to upgrade my alternator as well wen I upgrade my wires???
