SnowDrifter Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 Depends on the application.You running OFC or CCA? How long are the runs? ~~~~~~~~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
SnowDrifter Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 If it's 20ft long I'd do multiple runs for sure. 2-3 runs ~~~~~~~~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
Tarball Posted April 14, 2013 Report Posted April 14, 2013 both distance and heat will add resistance to your circuit. Multiple run will mitigate the issue.

Big-A Posted April 14, 2013 Report Posted April 14, 2013 I just installed second run. My story is I received some 0 gauge Q power Super Flex OFC for free and wired my truck with XS power d375 in back and Interstate up front. I was running a Arc Audio 600.1 and 80.4. I upgraded to a Arc Audio 2000.1 test sheet on the amp states 2347 rms at 1 ohm. For me I always like to over wire. I went with a second run and upgraded my front battery to a XS power d3400. So far seem to be sufficient. 2004 Dodge Ram Head unit- Alpine iDA-x305s Sound processor- Clarion eqs746 Mids/Highs amp- Alpine MRV-F345 Sub Amp- Alpine MRD-M1005 Dash Speakers- (3) Dayton Audio rs75 Front Door- Skar SPX65c Rear fill- Skar SPX tweters and Dayton ND140 midbass Sub- Fi Audio SSD 15 high QTS SHCA power/ground cables and Stinger interconnect XS power D6500 under the hood and D680 in the amp rack Big 3+ with SHCA http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161174-dodge-ram-quad-cab-fi-ssd15-skar-audio-alpine-shca/?p=2326251
TeamHT Posted April 14, 2013 Report Posted April 14, 2013 When the current exceeds a single run of whatever wire you're using. There are other factors to consider as well such as metal, size, and length. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

will77530 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 ok its a really simple answer, if you are pulling more than 250 or 300a you need to add another run. 250a is cca 300a is ofc... calculate the amout of current your amp pulls and you know how many runs of wire you need and what size wire you need...
