98aurora Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 So right now I have 1 run of 4 gauge coming from my battery going into a distribution block, and then from the block i have 2 separate runs going to my 2 amps. Should I keep it like that? or make it 2 long runs of 4 gauge from the battery going to each amp and eliminate the distribution block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 We will need alot more info to help you man. Usually people would split a 1/0 run into 2 short 4ga runs. Dont run 2 4ga from the batt to the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98aurora Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 more info like what? I have one amp for my subs, 1 amp for my mids/highs. I have a run of 4 gauge going into the trunk and into a distro block and from the block i have a run of 4 gauge going to each amp. What you're saying is do 1 run of 1/0 from the batt to a distro block, then split it off with 4 gauge to each amp? Would that give me more power to each amp?

genius764 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 That would increase the current supplied to the amps. This increasing the power. More like have you done the big 3? Stock alt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrzechNJ Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 It would be better to run one 0 gauge to distribution block and then split the power to the amps.. If you have some budget, upgrade ur wiring with a Big3.. its a good starting point, then you can think about aftermarket battery .. sometimes Loud is NOT pretty Sounds like its safe to go ahead and bend that ass over.

john253a Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 If you run 0 from batt to distribution block That's will be better as all^ have said Then use the 4g you have now to do big3 That's what I always recommend I also run multi earth Batt to block Batt to chassis Batt to body Batt to ecu ground location + I leave all the factory earth The alt to batt What u also need to remember is the 0 g will need a fuse rated for that wire And if you 4g runs are longer the 18" you'll need a fuse there rated for that wire I like to use distribution blocks with built in fuse for daily installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
