"The Big 3", Question? Options

[caribou17]

So i have done some reading about doing "the big 3", Anyways, I got my Celica a few weeks ago the wiring was already done. I did not realize the previous owner had already attempted the big 3. Well he did finish, BUT the wire is 16 gauge. So that defeats the purpose of doing it does it not? Should i just replace the wires with 2G wire or 4? And what exactly are the benefits of doing this, just more power?

Id go more along the lines of 6-8. One reason for going larger on the wires is to carry more current. Like water in a hose, the smaller the hose the less water and more constriction, where as the larger, more flow, more water. Hope that makes since.

Makes perfect sense! Thanks for the quick reply!, Another question, There is a fuse in the middle of the wire from the negative battery terminal grounded to the chassis. Does that need to be there or should i remove it when i put in the new wiring?
