Help with audio power wires
I am looking at running my 4 guage wires to 2 amps I plan on installing through a distro block. I would like to get a fused battery terminal (if possible) but need to know the size of the factory positive and negative battery cables as I will connect these to the new battery terminals. Also, do I need any special battery terminal for the C6 or can I use any available from Stinger, Monster, etc?
Thanks!

As far as the ground goes, you're better off keeping it as short as possible so you should ground closer to your amp mounting point. There are a number of choices in the C6. There's a factory ground point under the trim panel on the B pillar and if you're mounting an amp in the rear you can pass the wire through to the frame and ground straight to it.

i went off the fuse box main cable,, the fuse box next to the battery, take the ten mm nut off and your done. That cable is big gauge and works great for a clean look. Anything to the battery always seems to corrode for me. that fuse box wire is always hot of course. good luck paul

Not that I've ever heard, in fact Stinger makes a dual-side power/ground dist block that has single 4g inputs with dual 8 outputs for each. I do know that some folks prefer to use a separate ground of each piece but I'm not sure what the theory behind that is.
