Where can I Buy some ground wire?

 

All you need is 4 or 8 gauge wire, which is available at Home Depot, any store that sells car audio, etc.

Ground wire is simply wire that leads into a grounding point. There is not specific ground wire.

Like stated above, stores like Home Depot or car audio stores will sell wire of that gauge. I believe that OEM size is 8 gauge. But it really doen't hurt to go with 4 gauge.

You will find that if you buy a wire with more strands, they are much more flexible and easier to work with.

 

they sell ground wire systems on ebay

 

That's only a band-aid for someone that can't fix a stock electrical system.

I make my own new ground wires when nessicary from Home Depot parts.

 

i was looking at the ones on ebay.. i might get one . is it easy to install and does it really improve performance?

 

It has been gone over time after time. You should do a search, ACCORDDUST. I am not trying to be an ass by saying "search nOOb!" but I am just saying that there were some really good disccussions about how well these "earthing" systems work.

But to sum it up in a few lines:

-If you can crimp, buy your own wires and connectors. It'll save you a few bucks.

-If you have a stock stereo system or if the car is not drawing more current than OEM specs, and your wiring is in decent condition...save your money and time and skip the upgrade.

-I am going to say that it DOESNT "improve" performance. I mean if your current grounds are rusty and corroded, and the connections are loose and weak; you are probably losing some power. So replacing the wiring will "improve" your performance since performance was lost due to the shooty electrical system.

-If you run a big stereo system you will want to upgrade the main wires with something thicker. Chassis to battery, alternator to battery, engine to chassis.....
