Default Quick question Big3

So I have been waiting to do this for a few months now, and finally caught up and ready. Going to buy some 4ag wire for this, this weekend, just wasn't sure how much exactly. Does anybody know an estimated amount of footage I will need ? +2 ft just incase?

Yup, it is on the passenger side. Thanks a bunch, so far that is all I needed. Didn't want to go buying up a tons of that wire. Plenty of write-ups on here to answer the rest of the questions :P

do u have a autozone there? if so they have some sub system connectors that work on 4 gauge. its a non crimp type. has a hex head style nut that tightens down on the wire. its like 3 bucks. its a easy quick connector. i used it on my last blazer.

Check out Amp Installation Kits, HDMI Cables for the wire, super quality wire for a killer price.

So something like this ? Assuming it's priced that 1.55 per foot.

Since you guys are talking about this I'm just wondering how much more wire would it take if your alternator is on the drivers side?

Other little things, looks like I will be putting in the purchase tomorrow. Couple other little things....

Copper vs Silver ? Saw a clearance on the silver, curious to the benefits over Copper.

and gold plated terminal heads should be fine right?
