Hey guys,

Just curious who here has done their big 3 on a 96-00 civic. Planning on doing mine when it warms up abit more and just curious how much cable I will need. Since i'll be using 1 guage cable i'd rather not buy too much more than I need since its not exactly inexpensive cable.

i would say 1.5-2 feet would be good. imo 1 gauge is kinda overdoing it. i would do 4. i did 4 gauge for mine. let me know if you want 4, im an installed at best buy and could get you some for cheappp

oh and btw, your car doesnt exist

Best Buy installers FTW! We get that Rockford stuff cheap! Anyway, you will need more than 1-2 feet, especially if you do the 4th cables as well. 0/1g is definitely overkill, 4g is sufficient.

I was told to step it up a level from the gauge my amp uses - My amp uses 4 gauge...and 2 is hard to find. You guys sure 4 will do? Saves me some coin! Thanks!

Ever been to Canada? ;)

i dont see whats wrong with using 2 gauge cable, if cost isnt an issue, do it! I have 4 gauge for my 3 main grounds though.

Haha! Canada FTW! I know how that your car exists :lol: USDM EJ6, how much would it cost for you to get me some 4 gauge cable shipped to toronto, canada? PM me =)

Also, if anyone who's done the Big 3 already could post pictures, that'd be great! :D
