Jessica Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 looks like cableguy did a typo. its always good to have extra wire and this is why.. resistance creates heat. heat creates voltage drop. having more wire reduces the resistance even if you wont use the wire 100% it will helpOK, correct me if I'm wrong here ... but if I remember correctly, I installed 2 AWG welding cable in my truck.This cable is a larger diameter cable than the normal 1/0 cable ... which would be much easier than running multiple smaller cables in tight areas and have the same effect ... it sais right there on the wire 2/0. not 2awg. big difference.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 any other suggestions on whether I should do 1 run or 2?What wire are you using? Didn't catch where you said that.You should do 2 runs at a minimum, depending on what wire you're using. He's using audio pipe cca 1/0. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Kyblack76 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 he only has around 200 amp of supply... hell.. i have 500 amp of supply and only have 4 runs...... fuck.. do 3 if you want.... do 11... fact is.. 2 CCA runs will be more than enough to carry the current your supplying, (demand means nothing) for ya...... lets say i put 11 10k's in the back.. with a 100 amp alt... why would adding runs do anything??? .....you run for what you can give, and if your able.. some over.... the rest should be spent on batterys, or somthing that would actually help.

rockFord_Expedition Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I say 0 runs of that wire, and upgrade it to OFC that meets or exceeds AWG standards And 2AWG is not the same as 2/0 Starting with 4 ga it goes: 4ga < 2ga < 1/0(or 0 gauge) < 2/0 (or double 0 gauge) Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 The over all AMP rating, or DEMAND.. is that... its NOT what YOU CAN FEED IT... unless you can....... just saying..... (do one run.. test.. and add one.. then the third... you will not see any help or gain.....bet you my house..... due to the fact you only have X to GIVE OUT) SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockFord_Expedition Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Is it unrealistic to believe that I was typing it already and hadn't hit submit or refreshed the page to see that? Because that's exactly what happened. either way 2 runs of 1/0 is greater than one run of 2/0 if both are the same brand and type of wire. he already has the wire as well it wouldn't be my choice in wire but he has it already so why not use it? Are you 100% certain here? I am not saying you are wrong, just asking how sure you are of this. I was thinking like this, 2 12's dont have the same cone area as a 24, along those lines.
