rockFord_Expedition Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 OP, i just noticed that in your signature you are running a 340A Alt. if that is the case 1/0 will not suffice, or at least a single run anywhere won't. So double up everything including your big 3 Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire
Rich Schenk Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 How critical is it to have grounds on same side of chassis because alt is on pass side and batt is on drivers side. Was going to run it same way I had it in tibi, + grounding the alt to frame. I heard in another thread that having more then one wire on Ur alt will shorten its lifespan or is this false. Will doubling wire have a lot better gain vs not? On 3/28/2014 at 4:22 PM, KyLar96 said: Its all about the music anyway.....

rockFord_Expedition Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 (1)How critical is it to have grounds on same side of chassis because alt is on pass side and batt is on drivers side. Was going to run it same way I had it in tibi, + grounding the alt to frame. I heard in another thread that having more then one wire on Ur alt will shorten its lifespan or is this false. (2)Will doubling wire have a lot better gain vs not? I wouldn't say extremely critical but it can be the difference maker in having noise or not, Electricity likes the path of least resistance. Whenever you give it the easiest path possible, you will be rewarded. Well, if your alt makes 340A and tries to send that through a wire rated for 300A (1/0 OFC on a run not too long) you are going to cause heat which is bad, and either blow a fuse or melt wire. Could lead to bigger problems. 2 runs of 1/0 will suffice. If I was running a 340A alt, I would personally do 3 or 4 runs for my longest run if I was using 1/0.

Kyblack76 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Don't worry about the alt. trust me. Beat the shit out of it. 2 runs of the output stud since day one here. You'll be fine. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
rockFord_Expedition Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Your alt, and all of your other electrical will thank you if you 2x the return path. Think of the electrons like grocery carts at a grocery store. If its real busy and only 1 person is bringing carts in from parking lot, it causes a delay in the flow of carts. If you have 2 people, now all of a sudden your customers aren't waiting for carts. Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire

Rich Schenk Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 Can you ground alt to battery Then batt to ground Or is it better to ground alt directly to frame. since batt is opposite side of car On 3/28/2014 at 4:22 PM, KyLar96 said: Its all about the music anyway.....

Kyblack76 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 I did a alt ground to frame, right with the front bat ground, but, id expect, youd be OK doing the alt ground to bat, bat to frame......
