Grounding Wire for 5AT DIY Help

I'm about to make my own Grounding kit since I have a butt load of very good quality 4G wires.

Therefore, I'd like to ask couple question:

1. What are the sizes of the ring terminals that goes on the end of the wires?
2. What are the sizes of the screws that to screw on (lengh, width, and thread's)
3. How many wires do I need for my 5AT?
4. Do you have instructions of where to mount them?

Thanks a lot. The reason I decide to do it myself is because these are some very very good quality wires that my company is using for extreme voltage & current application. They can hold out very well

Thanks a lot.

Wire sizes, lengths, and attachment points are a closely guarded secret as some of the members make the kits for sale and don't like imitators.

Actually not too secret, as there are many kits out there, some more effective than others. Many imitators of the effective ones however.

If you want to make you own, why not just measure out the lengths yourselves?

I think that ZXtreme once had his measurements and instructions posted on his website. Every kit looks different, and even the grounding points are different. The Stillen that I used to have had very different points than on my GroundingGear, but then, there was a noticeable difference when I did the change-over (up-grade), even over the Sun Auto that I previously had where I had to determine my own points.

Even the number of wires may be different as different points require different numbers, so just because there is more, doesn't mean it's better.

You could try making your own, but why bother?

As I've said many times, the GroundingGear made a noticeable difference, even with the basic wires, over the other 2 commercial quality kits that I tried. Gord told me that he even sells commercially to some stereo installers that obviously have their own access to quality wire and terminals! That tells me a lot. PM Gordgee for the details.

Going cheap on some mods just isn't worth it sometimes. It was considerably more expensive the way I finally did GroundingGear, but at least now, I can honestly say that I've made the comparison! It's one of the reasons that I support Gord's product as I think it'll save you a bit of money in the long run, and the cost is less than most crap, like the NISMO CAI that I bought!

I'm not going cheap. I'm going for better. The wires I have are those top of the line used in high voltage industrial companies and can't be bought normally. Since I have access to them, why not use them?

Thanks, but I found the necessary info I needed.
