3Ltriste13 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 of install with said huge ass wire YEEEEEEEEEEEEE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 im guessing we wont see any. Since the user is touting his shop in his signature(which im sure he's a worker bee at) and there isnt a single high power install on either the facebook or the website. This comes off to me as productive trolling. Lets get these guys who have 5kw plus cars fired up and see if I can get a few clicks.

wadewills Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Monstrous Wire! Main problem i have with his logic is that one wire will have lower resistance causing it to pull all the load threw it. Wrong. As soon as current pulls throgh the lowest resistance wire it will heat up and resistance will increase thus making another wire the lowest point of resistance. As all the wires go through this, the resistance will eventually reach equilibrium and current will be equally divided. All this should happen in a matter of a second. So no one wire carries the current load of the system. Correct me if i am wrong. This is how my circuits teacher explained it to me in one of my electrical engineering classes.

Also while we are at it please remove the advertising from your signature. i agree. Before you come in here showing us how we are all dumb for running multiple 1/0......lets see some installs that you have done with this. Also, guess what, after you run that big ass bologna wire (which is cool and very interesting dont get me wrong), you still need to reduce it down to fit the amp(s). Anyway, it seems like fun but a pain in the ass. Show us how its done, we are all ears. also, i removed the advertising from your sig. Please dont put that stuff in there again. Thanks!

bobwires Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 you don't have to have a single conductor to carry the current, it can be divided into multiple conductors. 4 paralleled 1/0 gauge wires carries a total of (assuming 300amps each) or 1200 amps. Each fused according to the individual wire and not the total current draw of the circuit. How in the hell would you hide and or bend wire that thick? there really isn't readily available products for car audio. 1/0 gauge is good for close to 300 amps .....seriously? that's like a 15% drop in voltage...... I rather have my voltage -amperage.carried by multiple conductors.... This is not ideal in any way, except 'ease of use' - and that's my point. In an ideal world, we would use 1 conductor that is the right size. Multiple conductors with fuses too big is extremely common, and unsafe. If it weren't for the very low voltage in cars, there would be a lot more dead idiots out there attempting installs. I know perfectly well this is a crazy idea, I'm just posting it up and stirring the pot car audio 0/1 is almost equivalent to 2/0. it barely fits in 2/0 copper lugs. 1/0 wire also will fit fuse holders without any additional modifications. that 9/0 wire would need a special fuse as well made if you are really pulling all that current through one wire. if the wire is $50/foot, 9/0, knu wire would still cost less total per foot and rated more combined. plus no need to wait for special lugs, fuse holder and fuses. This is not true - it looks bigger, but it's just because it has small strands. It's not in the manufacturers favor to 'overrate' their cable, they just want 290845712039468123 strands so it looks impressive. Flexible wire is nice to run, not nice to terminate. When I saw $50/ft is a bargain, I was factoring in the connectors. Those cheapo fuseblocks, tiny lugs, etc don't work up here. they rust to crap in no time. All of you guys struggling with voltage drop can swap out all that cheap 'car audio branded' crap (usually) and get some real stuff for 10x the price and see a big improvement, and it will last. All you need is a breaker - I know these are a few hundred bucks. This is 2000amps Tuani Fabrication Wasilla, AK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 before you make another post and I mean this. Let's see some photos of big installs youve done.

KillaCam Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 He has a thread of his installs. Nice fabrication but they are not high powered systems. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..
