EclipseChris Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Lets try to get something going helping people estimate how much wire they will need. Post what kind of car you have, Year Make Model Submodel Body style etc etc. Also post any extra information like where you ran the wire and where you ended the wire. I'll start. 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse NA Hatchback. Battery on driver side underhood ran through oem wire harness on the pass side. Used a 27ft run and got it all the way to the back of my hatch area to the back battery with about 7 feet i had to cut. If i had cut a hole on the driver side i could have made the run with 15ft -17ft maybe. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

PUNKYOU007 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Seems like there would be to many varialbles. Amp placement, battery placement, number of runs (front to back, battery to battery. battery to amp....) Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C.

Andyvader Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 1994 Ford taurus Ran on the left side, followed wheel well, drilled a hole about 2 inches left of the steering column 16ft did the trick perfect....For one of my 4 runs that is... Nice thread idea, only hard part is scrolling through until you find your make/model Quote 2006 Malibu Maxx SS 4 sa 12's D2 2 audiopipe 3k's 4 UPS batteries 2 runs of 0awg Walled at 34hz How does a sport like this do in tough economic times? Just fine. There are 465 events listed in the current season. "Our competitors can't even spell recession," says dB drag racing impresario Wayne Harris. "They're young, and some of them still live at home. They put all their energy and money into their cars. They're competitive. They're at that age."

Nice thread idea, only hard part is scrolling through until you find your make/model Most internet broswers have a "find" or a "search" feature for within the screen or webpage.

TeamHT Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Way too many variables, placement,and not to mention setup. I have a silverado but probably have more wire than many suvs and cars. You can't expect to have the same amount of wiring for every application. Appreciate the thought though, its a good idea.

Ao1FTW Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think it should still be able to help in a way though. Can kinda give you a rough est. and possibly prevent you from ordering too little of wire. Quote 2012 Civic Si Coupe - Nada lol Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not meant to be exact, just to give people some idea of how much wire they would need if they have the same car as someone who posts on here. I recently bought 50ft of wire to install it and find out i only needed 50. Now 10 ft of wire doesn't seem like much until i mention that it was 2/0 pure copper flexo something welding cable.
