Wiring

Finally started Stage one of my wiring project. I've had the driver and fogs installed on my Gobi rack for some time. Finally decided how I was gonna wire these puppies up (via the back). Bought a 4 gauge amp kit from Fry's last week which included 22 feet of 4 AWG. Today, with the help of both my kids, I ran the wire from the secondary battery, through the driver's firewall via a large grommet (this was a pain) then down the driver's door sill and fished it all the way back to the rear access panel. Having two kids poking their head everywhere and the large size of the 4 awg wire was difficult. Everything went in nicely with some finesse. Stage two entails hooking up the wire to the battery and a fuse block.. Only thing, one snag! the amp kit only came with two terminal ring connectors, and I need 4!!! what's the deal? I need two more for the grounding wire! strange that they were not included, and I found out too late to be able to go somewhere to pick up! With Thanksgiving tomorrow, then black Friday, I'll have to wait some time to find the connectors locally! SHUCKS!!!
