JEFFYBOI Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Maybe since you already got 1 run of the 1/0 CCA. I would just run another in parallel and fuse each one at 200 amps and make a nice copper or aluminum bus bar like he said to make all your connections on. Fabricating your own bus bar is real easy.

SnowDrifter Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Answer this: is this your first build? my first real one with decent equipment yes Could I make a suggestion? Either sell you current amp or put it in storage for a little bit. Purchase a 800-1200 watt amp from a reputable company like AQ, Sundown, DC, CT sounds, etc. You should be able to run that on stock alt, 2 batteries, and 1 run of CCA 0 gauge. Because as it stands right now, the RF 2500bdcp is a big amp and a power hog. You'll need to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $750-1000 on electrical just to run it. Figure $400-500 for an HO alt, $200-$400 on batteries, $100-200 or so on things like wiring, fuses, terminals, solder, distribution blocks, etc. I'm getting the feeling that running this amp isn't within your means yet. And I don't want you to get frustrated with problems because your amp is too big for the rest of your build. I really do think you'll be happier with a smaller amp for now ~~~~~~~~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...

JEFFYBOI Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Well its simple to run 2 cables in parallel . Buy a big battery clamp that has a 3/8" stud. Buy some heavy duty 1/0 lugs. crimp them and solder and heat shrink your lugs. connect both 1/0 lugs to your positive. Fuse both cables as close to battery as possible. run through firewall and under carpet to trunk. A busbar is a flat piece of aluminum or copper maybe 3/8" thick cut it in a strip insulate it and drill some 3/8" hole to mount your lugs too. Your negatives will be connected to a good clean paint free surface to the frame. Make sure your sand or use a wire brush for a good ground. def go with a 250 a HO alternator atleast. And don't forget to fuse the back "Toyota Camry rebuild page 21 (link)http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183768-94-crossfire-camry-18s-walled-singer-alt-has-arrived-rebuild-starts-pg-10/page-21 PIONEER DEH-P8400BH 2 CROSSFIRE C5 1700D 2 CROSSFIRE C7 18 HOOD.

JEFFYBOI Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 your ohms load will definitely make a huge difference. That will effect how much power your really getting out of your amps "Toyota Camry rebuild page 21 (link)http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183768-94-crossfire-camry-18s-walled-singer-alt-has-arrived-rebuild-starts-pg-10/page-21 PIONEER DEH-P8400BH 2 CROSSFIRE C5 1700D 2 CROSSFIRE C7 18 HOOD.

JEFFYBOI Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 If your truly only pulling 2100W rms at a 4 ohm load, depending on your voltage that's about 150-175 amps . So If you do go with the 1/0 OFC and fuse it at 250 amps your definitely safe with that for now until you get a alternator and batteries.

And the current alt is 120 amps so I'll just watch the voltage and let the batteries charge up when it starts dipping lol 2002 Mustang GT Procharged Procharger P1SC Supercharger, 8psi Procharger Intercooler, Headers, Borla Off Road X-Pipe Exhaust, Mass Airflow Upgraded Fuel Injectors SCT Flash Chip (Excaliber II), Throttle Body, Lowering Springs, Carbon Fiber Hood -Front 275/40ZR17 -Rear 315/35ZR17 5.0 Short Shifter 3.55 Gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFFYBOI Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 The XS D3400 is really what you will eventually want or something close but check some other brand on sonicelectronix that's is recommended for around 2000W or go to Chrome batterys.com and they sell some blockshakers. Im not the best when it comes to batteries but some internet searching should help.
