potatochipd Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 I was wondering if doing multiple runs in a big 3 such as 2 runs from alt to bat and 2 runs from bat to ground etc. would that be better than doing 1 run? or would it not make much of a difference? Thanks
Tarball Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 single alt should be find on a single run of 1/0 for big 3. Unless you have a battery in the rear and the alt upfront. Then maybe I would do a 2nd run for the ++. The distance plus engine and car heat will increase the resistance on a single run. If everything is under the hood and you are running a single alt then I wouldn't bother. If you still have issues after the big 3 in 1/0 you will want to start looking at upgrading other hardware or adding a 2nd alt if possible.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Simple to figure this out, first ask yourself how big is my alt? Is it over 300 amp? If not then one run of 1/0 is plenty, but if you have more amp output then what the cable is rated then add more wire or bigger wire. Just like running power wire for an amplifier.
