nocturnalrites101 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh well i could have told you even copper 4 gauge is only good up to about 1100 watts. CCA about 800 depend on the length of wire. You need 0 gauge my friend . Change this or you will have a fire. Even CCA 0 will work. I would recommend Sky high car audio wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socky Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Do a battery ground, engine block to ground, alt to ground, Alt to battery +, then run your 1/0 to rear battery. Then do a rear 1/0 ground to strut tower or frame, largest thickest metal you can find. Then maybe look into some 1/0 to 4ga reducers for your amps, maybe overkill for now, but it will be worth it down the road.

nocturnalrites101 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 im talking about the 4 gauge that was melting off the distribution block to the 2 amps needs to be 0 gauge. I recommend CCa because its cheaper but if u have OFC even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazykid122 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 sweet thanks but i think the rsx has a battery ground engine ground alt ground and one other.. i was like WTF when i read it on another forum.. and its hard to get to the alternator unless u have a lift.. Even if it has the grounds there from the factory you should still upgrade them, unless you were saying it just has spots to ground at. 02 Dodge Durango 1 Fi SP4 18" .v2 Sundown SCV3k @.5 Ohms XS D3100 up front Northstar SMS AGM 400 in the back All XS Power 0ga OFC 240a Apex h/o alternator Pioneer AVH-X2500BT HU Dual 0ga runs from the alt to battery Dual 0ga runs from battery to amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatusay45 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I have to say SHCA makes some sexy wire.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 KnuKoncept makes good fuse blocks but you have to know how to install the wire the right way in them. I run there battery terminals and you need to be good at installing the wire into the compression fitting. Been running them for over a year no issues at all. Ill disagree with this. The compression fittings suck ass. terrible idea.
