basshead8569 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Now I have 3 amps. I went to mickey shores and they gave me a splitter for the power wire. Now i have seen builds where they have a splitter box for the power wire. Atleast that is how they say it. Is there a power wire splitter box and not this little one to 2 power wire splitter mickey shores gave me??? This one is Almost the size of the fuse box for my 0 gauge wiring kit. I mean it works. But, if there is something better. I would like to try to upgrade to it.

__d_a_v_i_d__ Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 there is something better than splitting power wire into 3. like giving each amp its own 0g run, fused to the battery.

basshead8569 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 there is something better than splitting power wire into 3. like giving each amp its own 0g run, fused to the battery. I originally did that. But, was told it was a bad idea on here. So went and got that splitter. And it is only split 2 ways. Now I have 2 batteries. Should the power wires from all 3 goto one battery?? Or put the third battery in and have 1 power wire per battery? Want suggestions before I fully finish the system.

basshead8569 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Who told you a separate power wire for each amp is a bad idea? Few people on here. Back like a year ago, Before I forgot my pw and made this sn. And there are still people that seem to still give me wrong info. Why I am re-asking this question like a year later. Hoping to get the right info. I am working on my first big build and want to make sure it all done right.

basshead8569 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 So then what would ya recommend for the power wires? All to one battery or that does not matter? One is under the hood to replace the stock battery and one in the trunk. One new one that I do not have in yet.

OrionStang Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Give each amp its own power wire. From the trunk battery to the amp should be easiest. And yes, all the power wires can go to one battery. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is under the hood to replace the stock battery and one in the trunk. One new one that I do not have in yet. do a seperate run of 1/0 to each amp from the back battery. And you will be good. Are they strapped at all? are they all sub amps or 2 monos and 1 4chan? edit: ninja'd Edited February 2, 2012 by FroznBeavrBALLs Quote 2 DC 12" lvl 4s 1 DC 1.2k XS Power S3400 big 3 Alll KNU wire Pioneer HU cheapo Legacy coaxes (just for now) http://www.stevemead...n-sentra-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
