How do I do a Big 3 Upgrade or Grounding Kit upgrade?

[alpine2014]

I have a 05 Chevy Aveo sedan with automatic transmission. Getting a new sound system for my car and would like to know if either of these are possible? If any of you have done these? If possible, where can I find the cables?

PS> looking to use 4 AWG cables because 0 gauge is too thick.

I have actually done part of the big 3, I have the battery to chassis done with 4 gauge Knukonceptz wire, very thick and very good for the price, i am running 4 gauge to my amp in my aveo right now, here is a link to knu : http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMa...y=Power%20Wire ... just click one what kind of wire you want, they have so many colors, i am using the KCA Kable and i love it, the big 3 is tricky with an aveo cause its hard to get to the alternator, at least for me, let me know if you get it done, hope i helped in any way.

Thanks sbelcher, I was afraid of that but looking at the alternator I can see why it is hard, going to look underneith the car to see if there is a way to get the wire to it. My next question, did you use the loop ends for the cables or did you get new battery terminals? Trying to do as much as I can before I get my amp (alpine pdx-v9) which is suppose to give me the cleanest sound without shaking my car.

I just terminated the end of my wire and connected it to the bolt on the battery. I am still trying to get someone to answer me on how to change the battery terminal.

Where did you ground the other end to the chassis? Did you sand it?

for the chassis to the battery? the negative? i took a bolt from off the side of the car and sanded down a hole and put the terminal on it and tightened it down..
