Chris Hammer Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 i mean tbh, i ran the same exact set up with a MRP-M1000 and never had any problems. but i see where you're coming from SlamminSL1 I feel you, and it can be done. But is it safe and will it provide optimal power? Hell no. I feel like your missing the part where he states he is running 1100 at 2ohm not 2250 at 1ohm. 1100wrms. 4 gauge if its OFC and true to spec can handle 150amps. RF t1500 takes 4gauge..much more power than the 1100 + he is putting out. So yeah he might not be running the same size wire as his amp inputs...but for the power he is running the 10inches of 4gauge is fine. He could even fuse at 120 or 150. I would be surprised to see a difference if he eventually switches to 0gauge for that 10 inch run.

SlamminSL1 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I understand what he's running. I also understand that he's running two amplifiers on one distroblock with no fuses after it. What I don't understand is why yall are telling him that he should totally install his expensive amplifier on inadequate wiring.

Chris Hammer Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) I understand what he's running. I also understand that he's running two amplifiers on one distroblock with no fuses after it. What I don't understand is why yall are telling him that he should totally install his expensive amplifier on inadequate wiring. Whats inadequate about the 4gauge? Provides more than enough current for him running at 2ohms. The single run of 1/0 is more than sufficient for his other amp and the BC2k. Please explain..and provide the math... Also... Just so people dont misinterpret my suggestion. Im not saying run the bc2k at 1ohm on 4gauge. Definitely will need the 0/1....and yeah overkill electrical is ALWAYS nice. But the simple fact is....he asked if he can get away with the 4gauge. The answer is yes...its more than adequate to supply the 100amps or so that he is going to need. His setup is adequate with the 0/1 to the distro block and 8gauge to the other amplifer. Not overkill but enough. You dont need a bunch of runs of 0/1 for every install. Is overkill electrical nice to have?yes....Is it necessary? No Edited August 6, 2012 by Chris Hammer Quote MY BUILD *****http://tinyurl.com/gmcbuild***** Vehicles 2005 GMC Canyon CB1000r - Currently where any future funds are going.

SlamminSL1 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hey, I'm not going to start busting out calculations to prove to you that it isn't smart to run two powerful amps off of one run of 0. It's common sense that you don't do shit like that. Would you try to run your whole house off of one outlet and one extension cord? No, because it's ridiculous. Shit, now try to run your whole house off of one fuse, might as well huh?

Shit, now try to run your whole house off of one fuse, might as well huh? Because calculations show its fine and he still has headroom. Even if he cheaped out and got some Knukoncepts 0/1 KCA cable he would still be fine. Rated at 250 amps. Even if his 2 channel was 1000watts rms..(Doubt it because he is running 8 gauge)....his 0/1 cable would still be able to handle that. So quick to jump on everyone asking why they are giving him advice. Do a little math in your head. And your analogy is crap. He is not running 20ft of 4gauge to a distro with tons of outputs on it. A run of 0/1 to two short runs...one 8 one 4 gauge..PERFECTLY fine. Just because it isnt overkill like most peoples electrical doesn't make it wrong. He doesnt need 2 runs of 0/1 for 1xxx watts Quote MY BUILD *****http://tinyurl.com/gmcbuild***** Vehicles 2005 GMC Canyon CB1000r - Currently where any future funds are going.

Shit, now try to run your whole house off of one fuse, might as well huh? That bc2k at 2 ohms isn't gonna pull more than what... 100 amps draw even say on a burp? The second amp isn't likely too pull 100 amps itself. Even if it did 200 amps draw altogether is still a safe enough load for 1 run. Which it wont. Music = dynamic. You don't need to "bust out calculations"... You can do that shit in your head. Quote i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah..

SlamminSL1 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think people have missed my point, and I apologize for not being clear. All I guess I'm trying to say is, why isn't the real issue being addressed that OP is running a single run of 0ga, which yes, is absolutely suitable for the amount of amperage he will use with music OR burps, but he's running his amplifiers off probably a generic distro with allen studs. Non fused to top it all off... People should be telling him to ditch the distroblock and throw in a battery and some fuses first.
