Hey I wondering if anyone is using any kind of terminal for the power and ground inputs as opposed to sliding the wire in them. ATM I have the wires slid in them, and they are secure, but I was just wondering what everyone else is doing....damn i hope that made sense lol

All mine are slid in there - no reason to spend cash on a terminal stud when it works just fine the normal way...

The ends are tinned and then slid in on mine....I find it gives the set screw a little more to "bite" into

I actually have a similar question. When these amps produce 5k (like mine will) I am running 2 positive runs and 2 negative runs from the front of the car (to the rear batteries)

how do I get both wires into the amp when it only has one terminal?

stupid question

thanks

you're saying run X amoutn of runs from the batteries (>1) and then to a bussbar, from there only 1 run of 1/0 goes to your amplifier? wouldn't this defeat the purpose of running the multiple runs?

Sorry me a newb

very true, or link all 3 batts together and only have 1 pos going to the amp from your rear batts.

Typically the pupose of multiple runs is in the case of rear batteries and your taking only as much current to the rear batteries as your wire will allow. Then you have one run from the rear batteries to the amp.

Yeh but I think hes meaning....1/0 isn't good for over 350amps. From rear batteries -> amps.

They use a buss bar!!!!

I will tell you the best way to connect it, listen up this is one, most have not seen.
On the bottom fuse bolt take it out and get a longer one. Hook the second positive up there.

Shhhh, don't be tellin everyone!

absolutely correct wl<3bass

i mean, what about the stetstom 10ks ... surely 1 run of 1/0 isn't enough for them? or do they have 4/0 or multiple 1/0 terminals?

Why not just get a short run of 2/0? Two runs of 1/0 to the back and a run of 2/0 from the rear batteries -> amp.

surely if the amp is a true 5k it would have 2 +'s and 2 -"s to deal with the current draw it SHOULD be pulling

what if you ran the 00gauge from the rear batteries to the amp and just shave the end down in little increments at a time until it would fit into the amp?
