FranklinTavarez Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 Im just confused about using more than 1 run of 0 gauge or 2/0+ gauge. Do you have to use multiple distribution blocks? Where do you buy fuse holders and distribution blocks that accept 2/0+ gauge and higher? And what's better to do more than 1 run of 0 gauge or a single run of 2/0 gauge? Quote
AMI CUSTOMS Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 Well what is the current demand? Why run more then a wire rated at 300 amps if it isn't needed is the point.

FranklinTavarez Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Posted December 31, 2011 I'm not sure how to calculate my amp demand. Isn't it just the rms x the current voltage? If so then I'd be running more than 300 amps. I Just want to do everything right the first time. So I don't have to rip apart my car again and do everything a second time. Quote

n8ball2013 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 most of us that do multiple runs go directly to a seperate battery bank in the rear and from there to the amps.

FranklinTavarez Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Posted December 31, 2011 most of us that do multiple runs go directly to a seperate battery bank in the rear and from there to the amps. Awesome thanks man! And I'm not completely decided on what amps to use as of just yet so it's hard to determine my effeciency correctly. Thanks for the rockford link it's very helpful! Quote
bujwah Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) hey if u need distribution block and fuse holder i got some extra ones that i bought last week..and ended up not having to use them Edited December 31, 2011 by bujwah Quote Stay Golden
n8ball2013 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 hey if u need terminals i got some extra ones that i bought last week..and ended up not having to use them not once did he mention needing any terminals. If you want to sell anything theres a section for it. You should know where that is by now.

splmark Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Even if u draw 275 amps and ur wire is rated at 300 you will have less voltage drop with more/thicker wire. Its not much but it does help. Any distribution block that has a ring terminal can take larger wire "if ur not using a 2ed battery Edited December 31, 2011 by splmark Quote http://www.termpro.com/dbdrag/memberalbum/34416a0.jpg
