knowledge Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 id say run it and get a good crimper. REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelfish92 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Do it! Go big or go home . Like someone else said, its just not as flexible.

SnowDrifter Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 4/0 is not too much. Honestly: anything electrical related is not too muchBut, running 1 or 2 larger wires might be more difficult than 3 or 4 smaller wires. Just because of flexibility and... Well.... The size ~~~~~~~~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...
SnowDrifter Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I will ask this: What size alt do you have? 1 run of 4/0 is Almost equivalent to 2 runs of car audio 1/0 (which sizes up to be 2/0 according to the AWG chart)Do you how how many/what gauge the strands are? I ask because AWG doesn't convert into stranded wire. You need to take the gauge of the strands they use, then multiply the cross-sectional area of those strands by how many their are. Basically finding the total cross sectional area of the copper. You can't measure it normally because the air space between the strands will give you a false reading For example: Knu Kolossus 1/0 is spec'd at 5145 strands of 36 gauge Looking at this table 36ga has an area of 0.0127mm2 Multiply that by 5145 and the total cross-sectional area of the cable is 65.3mm2 Looking at the same chart, that puts it roughly equivalent to 2/0, which is 67.4mm2 You can also use this to figure out what will give you the most copper dollar for dollar when you are buying cable Oh, and that same chart I linked lists the ampacity for the wire too. It's on the conservative side, but that's a good thing, since how much power a wire can carry and still have an acceptable level of voltage drop depends on it's length ~~~~~~~~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...
Emmet Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Not at all. Doesn't iceman pinder use 4/0 in his van with the 6 15's? i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah.. You want this to happen to you? Give decent handshakes people. I was gifted with an innate ability to distribute wholesale ass beatings in a timely and orderly fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Fizzy Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I use a single run of 4/0 for my ground run. Just sucked running it under the car lol under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

purplesyrup Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Nope, 4/0 is not too much man. Hope you have one hell of a crimper to mash a lug onto that shit just out the terminal on there and run it over a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
