  1. Wtf in this whole thread, just unplug those two RCAs at the amp and the amp WILL draw half the current and it won't hurt a fucking thing. How the hell is it going to hurt the amp? A 4 channel amp has two independent gains, meaning they are seperate. One for front and one for rear. They are not tied together in anyway. So if one set has no RCA input signal it won't damage anything.

  2. Alright got everything DONE!!!!

    16 runs of Stinger Pro/HPM 1/0 front to back!!!

    Now I must say thanks to Mike, Eric and Josh at Mechman for all their help with working the regulator bugs out with me over the phone and everything works perfectly!!! I have one regulator controlling 2 alts at a time (each regulator has a heavy duty relay and switch in my center console), so I can leave two alts off when daily driving around town for a little better fuel mpg. Also Josh helped me figure out a way to keep the dash light off in the message center since the stock alt plug isn't plugged into anything, that battery light was getting on my nerves. I took a female 4 pin plug and just connect the two middle wires together and plugged that into the stock plug, battery light GONE!!!! Did all the mods to the Quad bracket as well like in the review done about a year ago, bracket is nice and straight and all the alts line up great. I must say I am very pleased at this point, knowing I have a rock SOLID electrical is gonna make this build go alot smoother.

    Thanks again MECHMAN!!!!

  3. Another reason why you want to run individual grounds from front to back and 4 of them is because copper wire is way more conductive then a steel frame, and with 4 alts you don't want to run 1000+ amps of current thru that metal frame, it is much better suited going thru copper wire.

  4. Ok cool thats what I needed to know. Thanks!!

    and the alts stay daisy chained together right?

    Oh and he has the big 3 done already

    Edit: How do you like that head unit? I have the DNX9140 and it is painfully slow. I tried to get it to update and I cant make it for some reason.

    Yeah either daisy chain them and run individual ones as well or just do the second method and run all cables to the front battery first power and ground for each alt (8 cables total) and then 8 to rear.

    I also have a 9140 in my EVO and I know what you mean, this one is lightning fast compared to that unit. It is the best kenwood double din I have had. And you have to do updates with the SD card on the 9140 for it to work right I believe.

  5. One run of 1/0 off each alt to the rear is fine then, and do one run of 1/0 off each mounting bolt on each alt for ground to the rear. Then do one run power to front battery off one alt and one ground to front alt.

    Or you could run all four alts power and ground to front battery first then go to rear batteries. You will have total of 8 cables thru the yukon. 4 power, 4 ground. Also make sure he does BIG 3 in 1/0 at same time.
