Amart88 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I am planning on running 2 amps in my new setup and I was wondering if I should have 2 separate runs of 0 gauge from the battery to each amp or use a distribution block to save wire? Would it make a difference? Also if I do use a distribution block, will I need 2 more fuses or need to upgrade the fuse amperage on the main line at all?

Waldo129 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Well if you had one run of 0 guage to a distro block then out of the block to 2 amps you wouldnt have the same power/aperage as having 2 solid runs to each amp. If your case, I would get a second battery and just do a single run to the secondary battery, and then out of the battery to your 2 amps. Thats what im doing and its working perfect. But that all depends if your running some serious power...

I have a 270 amp alt and will be running 2 brz2100.1d's to 2 fi btl 15's. So for better power, I should make separate runs to each amp from my kinetic and fuse each one?

Waldo129 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Yes exactly. Also do 2 runs of 0 guage wire from battery to battery. Just to make sure your getting full potential, and more for extra measures Edited February 10, 2012 by Waldo129 Quote 02 Civic Si Stock Alt Kicker 0 gauge wire Shuriken SK-BT80 Battery JL Audio J2 320.4 Planet Audio BB 2400.1 Fi BTL 18 ufo motor My 02 Si Build! http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
