HI,

I am from India and my earlier install had 2 FI Q 15" powered by 2 Hifonics BRZ2100.1D along with CDT components and CDT amplifier.

Now that has been sold off and i am ready for a brand new setup. The things which will go in will be

--- 2 FI SP4 15" which already have been ordered .

--- To Power them i will need 2 Descent 4000-4500 W RMS amplifiers..(please suggest)

--- i will be using a high output Alt. from Mechman (arnd 270 amps i guess). just one coz there is no room for more than one.

--- 6 batteries (yet to decide as per local availability but we don't get dry batteries here)

--- Wiring would be Shok Industries reference series 1/0 AWG

Please suggest how may runs of positive and negative will i require and from where in the back to where in front? I mean from distribution block at back to front battery, or to alternator..I am really not sure..Please suggest guys.. Thanks in advance,

I generally just solder all the wires together in one large lump. The electricity is smart enough to know where to go.

Firstly, use ONLY dry cell batteries inside the vehicle. Wet cell emit hydrogen fumes. To wire up the electrical, simply make some bus bars for the 6 batteries. Get some quarter or half inch copper or aluminum that is at least an inch wide for this. Just search on youtube, EXO made a vid on how to do this. Make two runs from each bus bar to the front battery. If you have to do two banks, then connect the + bus bars with two runs and same for - bars, and then just make two runs to the front batt. A single run from the alt to front batt should be fine.

are 2 Runs enough? or shud i go for 3 runs till front battery? do i need to do a positive run from Alternator to +ve bus bar at the back?
