Ozim Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I am debating whether to get another d3100 or get 100' 1/0 spool. My electrical system is 270xp alt and two d3100. Would multiples 1/0 runs help electrical system better OR get another d3100 with little leftover 1/0 laying around in the shop. I cannot afford both. Both of them are about same cost. The system is for daily.

P4killer_ Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Well a d3100 as wire doesn't store power... but unless you drive a boat 50 ft of wire should be enough for 2-3 runs .. if you already have 2 runs or more.. what would you do with 6 more???

mikeg321 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'd go with the d3100. 1 run of 1/0 will handle your alts output and your gonna be drawing more current than your alt can put out, so more battery reserve > less resistance in your power wiring. 4 fully loaded Fi sp4 15's 2 Crescendo bc5500s Crescendo c1100.4 6 focal mids Vifa tweets 5 XS Power d3100's Pioneer avh-p4200dvd All crammed into a mustang. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150569-mikeg321s-fi-nendo-mustang-getting-walled-videos-page-4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToNasty Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 yiu only need as many runs as your alt calls for its a 270 amp alt so a single run will be fine get the battery ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4killer_ Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Well I mean if he has a 200+ alt and a d3400 battery you could easilly get north of 500amps.. And you need to gey thay power back to the amps. So if you dont already have 2 runs, you need some wire.. Not 100 ft tho.

You'd have to drop REALLY low for that to happen but it's still possible ~~~~~~~~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...
