Pauly1987 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Buddy of mine just picked up a aq3500.1 which has dual inputs for both power and ground! He has a spare battery in the back and 0 gage run from the front to the back battery Grounded to frame and the amp is grounded to battery in back which shares the same ground So battery and and amp share the same ground Can he just add an extra set of zero gage to the battery both power and ground? Meaning both runs of power run off battery in back Both grounds to amp share the same ground as battery? Hope that made sence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neckbeard Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 yes, aslong as you disconnect everything first so no current is on while you are hooking stuff up Build log, Super slow!!: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/168096-slow-neckbeards-1970-opel-gt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 i'd add an extra positive 0 gauge run from front battery to rear battery too. that amp can pull some current. also, i hope he has a high output alternator. otherwise that amp wont last long if hes irresponsible.

Pauly1987 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 So a second run from front to back would be optimal but not required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 What alt does he have? an AQ3500 is not an amp that you can just throw in a car without electrical upgrades. Just to give you an idea a team mate has blown a pair of 200 amps fuses with it. That's 400+ amps of current - enough to seriously fry things if you don't have the wiring to support it ~~~~~~~~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 April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Really what I'm asking... Give me the rundown of what he has for electrical. Alt, batts, wiring and whether it's OFC or CCA. Has he done the big 3? ~~~~~~~~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...

tacomaguy1 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Use back batteries as a distribution block. Run wires from battery + and - posts right to amps. + side fused Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
