That1Kid Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have a 98 Expedition. Truck is about 17ft long... I'm running a DC 5k. It requires 2 runs of power and 2 runs of ground. You guys think 50ft of power wire and 25ft of ground wire would suffice? Or should I buy more? And what brand of OFC 1/0 should I get? I also need advice as to what fuse holders I should buy, which RCAs I should buy, as well as speaker wire. -98' Ford Expedition (Rest in Peace) -AVH-P3300BT -Crescendo BC5500 -4 18" DC m2 Level 3.

skittlesRgood Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 you need as much power cable as you need ground. if you have a stock alt, one run from the front battery to the back batteries should be good enough. if you have a HO alt then i would do two runs, two positive, two negative. rcas, ive had good luck with these for noise rejection http://www.darvex.com/store/pc/showsearchresults.asp?idcategory=115&customfield=&SearchValues=&priceFrom=&priceUntil=&withstock=&sku=&IDBrand=&keyWord=stinger+hpm&exact=&resultCnt=36&order=&iPageCurrent=1&pageStyle=L fuse holder and speaker wire is all up to you. just use what you need, nothing special to it.

If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

That1Kid Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just got (2) 50ft spools of Trystar 1/0. Need speaker wire, fuses, fuse holders, RCAs, and ring terminals. I am having a tough time deciding what speaker wire to buy. And I need to know how many fuse holders/fuses I need. And what size fuses I need. -98' Ford Expedition (Rest in Peace) -AVH-P3300BT -Crescendo BC5500 -4 18" DC m2 Level 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 just to be safe i go with 250amp fuses. you need two per positive run. speaker wire i would just get a bunch of 8awg or 10awg. 10awg will be easier to get two wires into one speaker terminal if you need to do that.
