tonedeaf Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, I'm looking at relocating my battery in the trunk and need a good amount of 8 awg wire. I'm running tsunami 1/0 so id like to stick with tsunami for the while car. Anyone know where I can get spools of their stuff online? Only place I found was sonicelectronix who sells it in 3' strands, and I'm at work so I can't call them to see if I buy for example 10 of them if they are still going to be 3' strands or a cut. Just wondering if any of y'all know a place to pick some up, itd be a big help. Thanks for any help. Edited April 5, 2011 by tonedeaf Quote
bre2ts Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 why 8g? and not 1/0? Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some
n8ball2013 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 i got my tsunami from audiosavings not sure if they still carry it or not Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
tonedeaf Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 why 8g? and not 1/0? Need 8 gauge to connect it to the power distro box and have to replace the wiring to the engine. The wire from alt to battery will still be 1/0 tsunami comp wire. And n8 I just checked audio savings again an they don't carry tsunami alone, just amp wiring kits. Quote
tonedeaf Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 Although they do carry cadence. Anyone had experience with this wiring? Don't want to skimp on the wiring or I'd just order knu. Quote
audiofanaticz Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 You dont want to skimp on wiring, but yet you want 8 gauge. Thats the biggest car audio double negative ever! LoL Quote
captainhook426 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 Ba BAM! I like to support out partners so I will order whatever they carry. That's just me though! http://darvex.com/store/pc/8-Gauge-c54.htm THE HOOK! Quote Next time she tries to punch you in the stomach, whip your wiener out and chase her around. Show her who's boss.
tonedeaf Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 You dont want to skimp on wiring, but yet you want 8 gauge. Thats the biggest car audio double negative ever! LoL If you would have read my earlier response, I am using 1/0 gauge for what it is supposed to be for, the alternator to the battery connection. The 8 gauge is going to be used for the connection to the power distro box under the hood and the engine, which neither will accept anything bigger than 8 awg on my car... Quote
tonedeaf Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 Well I checked my car and I can actually fit 4 awg. I was wondering if anyone has ever used autotoys.com? Site seems like it could be a little shady but they have pro series 1/0 and 4 awg tsunami wire. Sonicelectronix has full rolls, but doubt I need 75 feet. Anyone else have suggestions? Quote
tonedeaf Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Gonna bump this again. Anyone know where I can order some tsunami or similar good quality wire by the foot? Need 4g, 8g, and 1/0. Not terribly interested in knu or full rolls, would rather buy what I need right now since im buying a sub and an amp later this month. Thanks for any suggestions.
