Battery Cable Size
Does anyone know the OEM battery cable (plus & minus) size that is connected to the battery for a 1994 F150? Also, how many wires are suppose to be connected to the plus terminal?
I need this for stereo upgrade purposes. I plan to change the stock terminals to an aftermarket one to accommodate the existing stock cables, in addition to a 4 gauge cable for the stereo ampifier feed.
Thanks,
EMoe

I guess I can answer my own thread on this one. (Now this would only interest those that are adding a high power, premium stereo sytem to their truck 
).
I looked under the hood, and my Negative term. has two wires (what looks like one is the size of an 8 guage cable, and the other is slightly smaller than 4 guage; I would say about 6 gauge). The Positive term. also has two wires (both are a tad bit smaller than 4 guage; again I'd say maybe 6 guage).
This information is only necessary when changing the posts to after-market posts (example link http://www.darvex.com/miva/merchant....tegory_Code=BT). This way the installer would know how many outlets, and what size outlets to get for the new terminals, that would accommodate the existing OEM wires for cranking, ground, etc.. and the new stereo power cable whether it's 8, 4, 2, or 1/0 gauge in size (whatever the needs of the stereo system based on wattage/current draw).
Thanks for the reviews though:
