XmaximuS Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Steve I noticed 2 0gauge coming off of the Alt and only 1 0gauge at the battery under the hood. My question is, Did you run Positive direct from the Alt to the back battery with no fuse? I saw you put a fuse near the rear battery but I cannot locate a fuse after the Alt before the Engine compartment wall. Is it necessary to fuse the Alt? I'm just curious. Thank you. I cant believe I miss that.. X Edited May 14, 2013 by XmaximuS Quote MY BUILD LOG>>>> NAH I BETTER NOT.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herokight Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Watched the vid last night. I haven't seen such a shoddy job in my life, man. Awesome of you to set your friend up with the system he should've had in the first place! I do have one question. What all goes into setting up the .3 besides just crossover points? I saw your vid with the 6 mic array and I downloaded the software just to mess around with it, but I'm guessing it's gonna take getting the processor and tinkering around with it in a car to really get a feel for it. Oh, and I give my thousandth post to you, my good sir. Quote Lane AKA HeroKight '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 R.I.P. Molliboo $200 for new tires, on a jeep!?

LOL - you said "grind"....it was a wire brush on a drill. SMH No no, I didn't mean to make it seem like any fault or anything like that, I just meant that even to get the cleaner connection on my car, I would be very hesitant about removing the rustoleum coating. Sorry I exaggerated on the "grinding", I've been studying for AP english the past 2 weeks, I'm hardwired to inflate a situation and use extreme words, that how you write a BS essay response lol Edit: I only noticed because I had spent about 13 hours scraping and grinding rust off the frame under the car, and even after a little bit of rain driving over a year some of the front frame was developing rust and even getting through the rustoleum layer.

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room. I missed Alan. RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.

bird333 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 You indicated that a battery isolator wasn't a good idea. Why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a fuse at each battery though. so as long as i fuse before the back batteries its cool to run straight off the alt? i would worry if for some reason i got a short somewhere between the alt and batteries the wire wouldnt be protected.
