8ight Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 If you can id recommend buss bars. They handle more current than power wire between each battery could and depending on how they are made for you they are cleaner looking and easier to use. There are buss bars out where you just strip back the wire, insert it into the buss bar and tighten down an allen head screw on the wire. Just like what amplifiers have for power input connections. Then if you really want to get it looking cool you can have them engrave the buss bar with something to make it stand out. My batteries perform great off having the tsunami 1/0 wire connecting them all together however if it wasnt for how the batteries arent 100% level with one another id totally get buss bars to make it cleaner back there. I believe you are thinking of set screws. Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are thinking of set screws. Yes thank you. I was trying to think of the correct name but was coming up blank. lol. I prefer those over ones that require ring terminals on the wire as you can make them neater and fit a lot more on the buss bar than to cram a ton of ring terminals together in one location.

jayjay6888 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 even without the load adjusters, i would be able to carry the weight, it would just sag a bit. The load adjusters keep the truck level after about 1500 lbs in the bed yea they can take the load stock..only reason i mentioned the suspension was because i just had it happen after installing a 5" lift on a ranger to put 35's on it and once we put the batteries back in they rubbed ...thats a lot of tire on a ranger i know but even with the same weight they came close to rubbing with 31's on there had to invest in some air shocks(not my choice my friends) after the 35's Quote 1 Fi Sp4 18 Crescendo 2k selenium mids audioque supertweets Hifonics for mids and and highs 1/0 power and grounds ---> on the way singer alt and possibly another 2k depending how sub likes 1 2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickass audio Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Have you checked with toolmaker on here? He makes great buss bars but im not sure if he has a backorder or what for getting them out the door.
