hdorre Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I currently have a battery mounted in my hatch, but I need to move it. The issue is that the wire isnt long enough. I want it to go from where it is now to next to the trunk light (on the right) How could I do this? I was thinking of running ring terminals on each end of newer power wire and attaching it to the end of the existing power wire with a nut and bolt.. and then just taping it up. Would that be sufficient? Thanks in advance guys Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just get a fuse holder. Put it at the end of the current run, and add on the required length of new 1/0 to get it to the new location. Boom. You're also protected from a short also.

SnowDrifter Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Personally, I'd use something like this and wrap it in some electrical tape http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stinger-1-0-Gauge-Power-Wire-Coupling-Splice-SPT8210-/400180598274 Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NT_Hardcore Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 i would run a new run. but if that is absolutly out of the question id use a in line fuse holder. the rings and a bolt should work, but is kind of ghetto imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I should also add that I wouldn't do the ring terminal trick. I've tried that before and had issues with it wearing through the electrical tape on edges/corners of the nut and bolt.

hdorre Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just get a fuse holder. Put it at the end of the current run, and add on the required length of new 1/0 to get it to the new location. Boom. You're also protected from a short also. I thought about that, but thought itd look kinda ghetto.. especially with the ground. Personally, I'd use something like this and wrap it in some electrical tape http://www.ebay.com/...0-/400180598274 Damn, Im REALLY liking this... i would run a new run. but if that is absolutly out of the question id use a in line fuse holder. the rings and a bolt should work, but is kind of ghetto imo A new run is out of the question.

Blue Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Do what I said for the power run, then run the coupler for the ground.
