Ok need suggestions on replacing my battery cables without spending a fortune.. Has anyone bought any of the ones say autozone or napa and such sell? or did you make your own?

 

I Made my own battery cables for positive and negative. I got marine terminals for the battery and 4 guage battery wire and used copper lugs for the connectors. Than I used heat shrink to make everything look nice. The ones from Autozone or Napa had like 6 gauge battery wire.

 

Where did you purchase the cable? I can get the terminals connectors and what not just need to find a place to buy some cable itself..

 

I actually bought the wire in a 50ft bulk cause I use it alot at work. But im sure Napa or Autozone sells it by the foot.

 

Sounds like yall need to work out a deal!!!

 

I dont mind but Im sure OKC can find it by him.

 

I'll head over to tractor supply today and see if they sell it by the foot...Plus I can pickup another ground strap for the jeep..can never have to many grounds..

 

Also look for the local stereo shops...If you hear BASSSSSSSS then you can probably buy power cable from them.

If your looking to replace the entire junk power system...5-90 on NAXJA and on here sometimes...sells all new power lines cut to length, terminated, and a LOT better grade then the junk the factory installed.

 

An Audio store might charge you an arm and a leg for battery cable. They usually have like monster cable. Which is good stuff too.

 

I am going to check out tractor supply and 5-90 and see how his prices compare to me building my own..

 

Yep might be expensive. But the local auto stores didn't carry ZERO gauge for my altenator to battery connection

 

Well if you go 0 guage than your going to want to hit up a audio store. There like the only ones who carry that.

 

Forget the audio stores they just want to empty your wallet. Buy cable by the yard at the local welding supply store. I have about 10 yards of it in "O" and "OO" from there. It is all black. No color choices but pretty cheap.

 

Forgot about welding supply. At the time when I bought mine, I needed 6ft for alt to bat connection on 2 jeeps.

Welding supply would be alot cheaper.

 

no worries tractor supply by my house handles the stuff so no need to head to a welding supply shop..I'll grab some this weekend and start making new cables..
