skittlesRgood Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I was going to ground to alts I just forgot to put it up there also should I increase the runs to engine block or just increase it to 1/0 the alt negative is the same as the engine ground. arent all of these wires 1/0?? i didnt notice but you need two fuses between the front battery and back bank. one close to each end. You really only need like 2 runs of negative front to back then one or two grounds in the back to the frame and you would be fine. i completely disagree. remember you need negative runs from alt to battery. i like to use an alt mount as a grounding spot. Why do you disagree? That is more than enough ground. I know that you need the alt to battery grounds but I was just talking about front to back. why does it make any sense to have 4 positive runs and two negative runs? even if you do two more to the frame, why settle for the much more resistive steel to carry current to your batteries/amps? Because negative doesn't carry any current. You are just providing a ground. Why would it matter where it is coming from. its funny how often people argue with me that dont know what they are talking about. 1st off, DC flows from - to +. second, this is called a circuit. current goes through all the wires. do you think it just disappears?? and if you dont believe me you can go get a clamp meter and measure the + and - wires and see the amperage on each is about the same. I'm not trying to argue at all man. Amperage may be the same but there is no voltage so the current is not there. I always believe in having good grounds, and I believe what I suggested would be perfectly fine. what? first it doesnt have current then it doesnt have voltage? just go look it up instead of guessing.

skittlesRgood Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Also how much will my mpg decrease with the quad alternators. coulnt say a number, but with the alts and all the weight of the system... MPG will suck lol. you just cant worry about that if your doing a system like this. Quote If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.

dmurria78244 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) i didnt notice but you need two fuses between the front battery and back bank. one close to each end. Really? Why is that? I'd say should have, especially for inexperienced people. (IE: ANYONE THAT HAS TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS) Because the rear batteries may try to transfer power to the front and they will collide or something like that, I read about it I can't remember exactky what they said but it's good to have two fuse for the protection.

(IE: ANYONE THAT HAS TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS) lol ok, you dont NEED any of them but if your going to do one fuse you need the other or the 1st is useless. if one end of the wire grounds out the front battery shorts. the other end of the fuse grounds and the back bank shorts. i didnt notice but you need two fuses between the front battery and back bank. one close to each end.

Its all about the flow of electrons, when people say current flows from pos to neg thats called "conventional current", but electrons flow from negative to positive, the flow of electrons is current, it all goes back to years ago when they guessed and thought electrons flow from pos to neg, but was too late that they found out they were wrong so decided to keep it the way it was to avoid confusion, so when people say no current flows through negative wire thats not true. If that was the case you wouldnt need a negative wire. Using 2 fuses is just being smart protecting your gear Edited June 19, 2011 by Emmet Quote i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah..

dmurria78244 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) You think if I supercharge it I can get the mpg back up though? Since the engine will have to work less harder with the extra power. Edited June 19, 2011 by dmurria78244 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
