bassman619 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 Im seeing a 50ft roll of 2/0 ofc for about 50 dollars more for the same amount of 1/0 ofc. (Sky high cable) im planning on doing a 320a alternator and two xs power d3100s jn the trunk..I was wondering would this 2/0 cable be able to safely handle that 320a of current with only 1 run ? Or should I go with 2 runs of 1/0 ? If I could use just 1 run it would end up saving me space ..even though id have to get a bunch of reducers or buy some 1/0 to do the runs from the rear batterys to the amps. You need trunk space to get groceries and shit...bitches love groceries
jdshott Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 1/0 has a 350 current limit so 2/0 should be safe to run. you could always email Sky High Car Audio for the specs. on here or there website . http://www.the12volt.com/wiring/recwirsz.asp this link is always useful No 1 But me paid for this stuff and NO FREEBIES so no brand names (No Free Advertisement ) A SQ head unit 6 5.25 2 X 6x9s 7804 P400.4 4001D 1 34s (Maybe time to change brand) 4 X 15" s !/0 @ 2/0 OFC Wiring :morepower1: :morepower1: ill say it like i always say it. F##K the DD-1. I don't care if you or anyone buys one. (well i do, but that isn't my point) Get an O-scope in the very minimum and learn how to use it or you are just guessing your settings like every other noob. once you master the O-scope then step up to a DD-1 or even better a DD-1 Plus.
bassman619 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Posted May 16, 2014 So technically I could do 1 run of 1/0 ofc and not have to worry about it? You need trunk space to get groceries and shit...bitches love groceries
Quiet Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 Technically 4 gauge could handle that much current over a short run. The longer the run, the hotter it would get. Wire doesn't typically have a straight "current capacity" long story short, a single 1/0 would probably work, but if you're looking for the best performance the more the merrier. It depends on how much voltage drop you're willing to live with. A 2/0 OFC run would work better but still not so much overkill. but with wire, overkill is not enough. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.
Popwarhomie Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 The sky high 2/0 will be fine at over 500 amps. You only really need 1/0 OFC. Buy you didn't say what amp. 2010 Focus coupe- 8 12" wall. 157.5@46hz 2016 Focus ST - SQ build.
bassman619 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 Bc 5500..about 18ft run You need trunk space to get groceries and shit...bitches love groceries
Miguels Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 i would do 2 runs of 2/0 just to be safe.. that amp will draw close to 600 amps and dont forget what the 4 chan will draw my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
