I made mine out of streetwires amplifier 2 guage ground wires with gold plated terminals, it made improvement on the stereo sounds, and my lights dont dim when the bass hits anymore

Aluminum sucks. :P I hate having to run 4/0 aluminum SER cable for a simple 200amp service when you only have to run 2/0 copper for the same 200amp service.

Do a write up on one of those setups. I have my own ideas, but I don't think mine will be too clean looking. It's hard to make gigantic wires look good in the engine bay and I'm not sure about that flat wire, mainly because of the aluminum.

would jumper cables wire make a good ground? They are having a sale for 10ft for like 3 or 4 dollars.

gold is a better connector than platinum, so don't get fooled by those dumbasses at the shop that tell you platinum is better, I got fooled, I paid more, I'm dumb.

I had that role of ground braid at JBwelders install.You didnt see it?

The only reason aluminum will handle less amperage than coper is becouse its a better conductor with less resistence(read on it will make sense )...So the down fall is that it heats up and deteriorates in 1/2 the time that coper does.Thats why its rated at less amperage.If aluminums melting point wasnt lower than coper that would be the ideal conductor.Silver is the ultimate comductor .

I will do a write up on that fab/install of that ground kit.Just for you baby!
