so your saying i could give each d3100 its own chasis ground but it wont be nesscary? but as for the left d3100 + goin to the right d3100 + it should be fused? and also does the left d3100 have to ran to the d1200? since i already ran it do the right d3100 so im assuming the alt is goin charge all 3? or ethier way its still better to run both d3100 to the d1200 in the front? For grounding your d3100's you MUST ground it to your chassis. If you dont ground it to your chassis or to any negative terminal of your cars alternator or frame then your amps will be running straight off battery power and will die and fuck your amps up. What id do is to do this... For your amps, take the grounds on them and hook them on top of the negative terminals of the batteries. And have a ground wire going from your negative terminals of your batteries to the frame of your vehicle. Just by hooking your positive wire from the front battery to your rear battery wont charge the rear batteries up at all since its not a completed circuit. You need to complete the circuit by grounding each battery in the rear to your frame. Now for the positive wire going from the d3100 on the left to the d3100 on the right you need to fuse the wire on both sides. So put a fuse about 1-2 feet away from the positive terminal of the left d3100 and put another fuse 1-2 feet away from the positive terminal of your d3100 on the right. The point in doing this is so if for example i slice your positive wire going from the left 3100 to the right 3100 and it touches a ground point of your vehicle it will stop the power flow between the wire. If you use only one fuse, then that one fuse after a little while will blow but all the power on the un-fused side will keep flowing and flowing and flowing until you run out of juice and for a d3100 thats a shit load of power. And finally for your left d3100 you do not need to hook that to your d1200. Theres no point in that. Just connect the positive wire of your left d3100 to the positive terminal of your right d3100 and fuse it on both sides and call it a day. Then for both the d3100's just ground them to your chassis. It is better to have a second power wire going from front to back or if possible get a dedicated ground wire since grounding your frame is only going to allow so much power to go through it all. What im going to do this summer (as much it was a pain in my ass to run a power wire through the firewall) im going to get a dedicated ground wire going from the negative terminal of my front battery in the engine to the negative terminal of my rear battery. This should help current travel a lot better since its a direct ground to your vital electronics. If you want i can draw you a better diagram and show you what you should do if you want? dang i have alot more to learn but yes!! lol if you can you draw me a better digram after awhile me working on it i realized im getin myself confused

bump for not wanting to burn down my car

My link i have this kinda of wire and for anything smaller than 0 gauge its stinger hpm and as for the fuses what would u use for a fuse on the alt then? a 300amp? *spelling*

What about fuses at the alt. And first batt? yea see i knew i missed something the 1st batt will recive a 300amp fuse correct? and as for fuse in the alt never knew that gets fused as well, what kinda fuse do you reccomd for a mechman 270?

as topic says does it seem fine? wanna have it all planed out before install? what me what u guys think

no there not but i like how you helped thanks man!

x2 sorry i fixed it any help possible would be nice

Yea your right, i wont post this in the wheel and tire section, just to find out what make and model it is.......

i really want these but idk what they are any help? *edit*

i mightgo even tho my new build on the mustang i not even close to be done all i have is the hu in lol, im in southern wisconsin hopfully that far of a drive, im pretty excited this my 1st show ima go too

you dont know what yout talking about it is bad to run your voltage like that for example those batteries i will never run iton anything higher then 15volts and as for electronics nothin over 16volts,but ig mister know it all here just ignore that, but to answer your question i have a friend running a 18volt system and he says he sees slight gas mileage and other minor things run more effient

can someone quote me for a price on dc lvl5 12 woofer(maybe 10 if its possible to make?) dc3.5k 175.4 please 53511 area code

is it usually cheaper do ths? since pretty much the middle man gets cut out??

in wisconsin its fine but u needthe 2 side mirrors but if its such a thing u worried about why not buy a rear view camera?

the thingi have question is if i wanna use 2/0 instead of 1/0 what kind of ring termainls do i use? because if i use 1/0 it wouldnt fit unless i trim the copper but isnt it kinda defeating the purpose?

i think you will be fine, with the batterys i done it before , just dont do it for long also i doubt he is goin to see the full 2500 anyway with box and impedance rise and the voltage he is goin to drop he should be fine if you set your gains right (oscope it)

i just wonder how his pants stay up

it will come in one strand lol, but i would get atleast 10ft more then you need just incase if you messup you dont wanna be without and having to wait again for more wire idk jmho

well the thing is the resale value will it go down and im only 19 so my welding skills are very very basic because im barley getting trained in the mantainence at my job after im finished with my main job

i feel ya bro worked 81 not so long ago, my family thinks because im 19yrs old im fine and still expects me to help him,work on his deck, but idk suck it up atleast overtime wont hurt lol

at 3:17 i thoughed only chicken had the rf 15k?

them lil 8's are gettin it also that box came out nice

its alright man,be paient there alot of helpful ppl out here
