Power caps

doh! you want at least 4awg as most wiring for these bits isnt even as much as 8awg. the bigger the better though but you would be fine with 4awg, i changed everything up to 0awg

when i got my stuff installed the other day i asked about the big three i.e earth wiring coming off the battery to the car chassis and from the battery to the engine, they asked what do i want it upgraded to? and i didnt know!

thanks

it sounds like your installer used the teacher's last resort when they can't answer a question from a child.... they ask the class!
Upgrade your installer!

buy yourself the thickest you can. as for length, just get around 5-8 metres, always allow more as you can always cut it to length, harder to cut more off than add more on.

also should be plenty for a polo and leave you some left over for running down the car. if you already have down the car done, then a good 4 metres to be honest as each of the "big three" is usually the guts of a metre anyway.
