FS:1/0 and 4 gauge grounding kits

These are 4 wire kits and will fit the 04-07 Maxima. They may fit other years as well, but I can't guarantee it. The 1/0 kits were assembled from Knu Konceptz Kolossus OFC 1/0 Silver power cable. The ends were crimped (using 8 ton hydraulic crimper), and heat shrink wrapped.

The 4 gauge kits are made from Knu Konceptz Ultra Fleks OFC 4 gauge power wire. The ends were crimped (using 8 ton hydraulic crimper) and heat shrink wrapped.

I'll inlude 3 zip ties, 2 M6 bolts, 2 M6 flat washers, 2 star washers, and one M6 nut.

I am setup for Pay-pal, and I have over 750 ebay transactions under 1hawaii50, and prices are shipped w/in the Continental U.S. via USPS Priority Mail.

I'm located in Cleveland, Ohio, if you want to pick them up in person I'll take $5.00 off.

I CAN ORDER TECHFLEX IN JUST ABOUT ANY COLOR/COLOR COMBO. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, LET ME KNOW, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT COLOR/COLORS I CAN GET. IT WILL ADD ABOUT 7 DAYS TO THE TURNAROUND TIME AND WILL ADD $20 TO THE COST OF THE KIT.

I don't have any kits currently ready to go, but I can typically have them made/shipped within 3 business days of ordering.

Pricing is:
'$45 shipped for a 4 wire, 4g kit. I can do red, blue, jet black, or dark smoke/translucent black.

$70 shipped for a 4 wire, 1/0 kit. I can do the same colors as the 4g kits.

$65 shipped for a 5 wire, 4g kit. The additional wire will be a power wire for the + battery to + alternator post. It also includes a 4g inline fuse holder and fuse.











I can get 1/0 and 4 gauge in red, blue, and translucent black (dark smoke), and jet black. I ask for payment up front, simply because I've purchased the materials for kits for some members who then backed out. Once payment is made, I can typically have the kit made and shipped in 3-4 business days.

KnuKonceptz is local to me, so getting material is not an issue...Once I order it from them, I can pick it up in 2 business days. If anybody wants anything with TechFlex, it will add $20 to the cost of the kit, AND IT WILL ALSO ADD APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK TO THE TURNAROUND TIME. This is because I have to order the TechFlex, and wait for it to be shipped to me.

If anybody has any questions/concerns, please PM me.

Just let me know. The only color I have in 1/0 right now is silver, with or without the TechFlex. I've got red in 4 gauge, and I'll have blue 4 gauge tomorrow. I can get other colors, or even order in some different TechFlex if anybody wants different colors, but that will add a little bit to the turnaround time. Right now I have the 4 gauge red, and the 1/0 silver with and without TechFlex ready to go.

Does the diff.gauge wire really make a difference with a grounding kit?

Ask 12 people, and you'll get 12 different answers. Some say "go big or go home" and some say 4 gauge is more than sufficient. I see some people run a 1/0 grounding kit, and I had some 1/0 leftover, so I thought I'd throw some 1/0 kits together. It's probably "6 one, 1/2 dozen the other" if you know what I mean ...it's all whatever YOU want.

I can do black, red, or blue 4 gauge. I can do black, red, blue, or silver 1/0. The silver 1/0 is Knu Kolossus cable, all of the rest (both 4 gauge, and 1/0) is Knu Ultra Fleks.

If you like shiny, I can do chrome TechFlex, but the sleeving IS CONDUCTIVE so make sure that is not an issue for you. For grounding applications this shouldn't be an issue, but you need to know! Any chrome TechFlex grounding kits would be $75 shipped for the 1/0 and $55 shipped for the 4 gauge (Chrome TechFlex is more expensive than the other colors).

I can do any number of colors in the TechFlex...
blue, purple, gray, light gray, black, red, pink, green, yellow, black/gold, carbon, white, red/white/blue, or black/white.

I can get silver or gold in a mylar sleeving.

If you want anything sleeved with TechFlex, it will add a couple days to the order, as "carbon" is the only color I have right now, I will have to order any of the others.

Interested Sir but could you remind me of the benefits of upgrading your grounds?? Is there any noticable increase in the charging system and accesories?

I haven't had the time to get my grounding kit installed yet, but I can tell you from everything I've read here and on other car audio forums that this upgrade does benefit your vehicle. Others have claimed that their windows roll up quicker, stereo plays louder, headlights no longer dimm, etc. BCAE1.com has a lot of information on grounding, caraudio.com, diymobileaudio.com, 6thgenmaximaforums, etc.... A lot of guys even go so far as to replace their alternator power/ground with 1/0 or 4 gauge. I just installed a 1600watt rms system in my car, so I'll be upgrading mine as soon as I have a free night. Your factory ground cables are small compared to the 4 gauge, and outright tiny compared to the 1/0. Bigger cable = less resistance = good thing!

Fastmax05, I've updated the first post and pics in the first post. I'll keep all updates in the first post so everybody doesn't have to scroll through this whole thing. The red wire in the pics has the "carbon" braiding. I don't have any more TechFlex on hand, but I can order it. See first post please. I'm not sure what kit you're asking about for $55 shipped...PM me please.

Yes, All of the wires are cut to the same lengths as the active tuning kits.

OK...inventory update:
The only kit I have left ready to go is:
1/0 silver kit -$60 shipped
I have enough 4g ring terminals on hand for 4 more 4g kits, I just need to get the wire. Let me know if anybody needs/wants a kit. I can have the wire w/in 2 days of placing the order, so the turnaround time is very short.

I can get red, blue, or dk smoke/black. There are pics at the beginning of the thread. The pics show the red w/ the carbon techflex. I can get any of the three colors listed. The only color I CANNOT get anymore is the SILVER 1/0...it is no longer available. I can get either 4g or 1/0 in red, blue, or dark smoke/black.
