the local auto parts don't carry 4 ga. is 2 ga fine ?

 

best place is to go to a car audio place. Get a good multistrand wire try to stay away from welding cable because it does have a low strand count.

 

as said above go to a local car audio place and get a 4 AWG amp kit.

good multi strand wire and it will come with a fuse holder, which is good for saftey.

as far as the rating for the fuse itself, search on here for battery in the CRX section and youll see what other people run.

if i had to guess wither 80 or 100 amp. you could also run a breaker in there too if you wanted.

you COULD run 2 awg if you want. but it cant be thick strand AC house/commercial wiring.

 

Two gauge is not only fine. It is better than 4 gauge. This is especially true due to the fact that the wire is going to be MUCH longer. A longer run means that you need a thicker wire to carry a given amount of current with a low voltage drop.

Ground the battery directly to the body in the nearest bolt hole, saves you the money of having to buy a long ground. My ground is 2 feet long, and it's about 6 inches too long.

 

just go wid 2 ga

 

most people I know use either 2 or 0. If you have a system run the 0. Good luck.

2 &gt; 4

 

either is fine but make sure you ground your engine bay because i relocated my battery and it wouldnt start and that was the reaoson y and get a strong battery optima beaing number one that would work best.

good luck with that man

 

2 AWG is preferable in your situation. go to a pro audio place so you get finely standed cable rather than one with few strands. 2 AWG copper has an ampacity of 100 amps. 4 AWG copper has an ampacity of 80 amps.
