Not sure, after the cs130 swamp its been acting up, its a simple plug and play.. Seems like when i connect the bass wire to battery it drains it???? Idk im confused, like i said before wires drive me nuts!! I need to focus and stay on track and pin point what it is...
A guy a the bus stop was yelling at me to turn it up" i was playing "b*tches at sh*t" lmao.. When i did it shut off and i was mad!! Just turned it off!! Kinda killed my drive!! Well we will see..
I think i found my problem with the battery dying and radio turning on and off... The same dayum wire that i thought i fixed when i first got the Bu was not even connected, meaning the alt connector wasent telling the alt to charge the battery, so today i fixed it and used a connector shrink wrapped, love the way these work!! Big homie Skip will help me with the rest.. I did rewire some grounds and made sure it was correct. Hopefully that was all it was, im sure it was..
I also started cutting my crossmember, once i get this done i can go to exhaust peeps and have him weld in my electric exhaust kit... I went to metal spot in LA to get me some sheet metal, i will cut and rebrace/box the crossmember fitting, take to my bro in law to weld or to the exhaust guy... Stay tuned

homie,homie,homie!!!! you dont need to BUY anymore metal!!!??? do like i told you just reuse the piece you cut out,flip it around and it will lay in the cut out section PERFECT(MAY NEED SLIGHT TRIMMING/persuassion from a bfh 
)then get you a good stick welder(220 amp preferably,wire feed will work,but more time consuming))and have at it,if your bro -in-law is a welder,or even the muffler shop can do this,its CAKE dont let them work you.id give them the MOST 50.00 to do this.after you get it done buy you a pint of por-15 rust prevenative paint(30.00)and give it(crossmember)a good bath in it and let cure for a day or 2 and follow up with a top-coat of choice(rustoleum,krylon,etc)

Just wondering on your alternator wiring, you now have a larger cs130.Do you have any additional output wire coming off the alternator(attaching nut) to charge the battery? If not, you need another 10 guage or larger.
On my setup, I have a dual terminal battery. Used the extra ground to run to frame. Used the extra positive to run to a stereo distribution block, which is where I attached a 2nd output line from alternator output.
Never hurts to have extra grounds for WHEN one fails. also good to be sure to have sufficient wire for upgraded areas & stereo that need it, whether it's one new large wire or 2 or 3 wires totalling enough volume.
Truth be known, I hate wiring also, but I know enough to usually get what I need done.
