Broke_Audio_Addict Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 ...So I get it, its easier to buy new wire from SHCA or Knu. That thread was a cluster fuck of bullshit. But if you have more time then money, ripping out 1/0 gauge welding cable in 10ft lengths from a car is not hard. And if you can buy for $1 a pop like I did...you end up with a $10 investment instead of a $200 investment for 100ft. Its an option. Thats all I am saying. It wasn't a shot at you it was a shot at Mr. High class fancy BMW wire. 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.

I am saying that if you're really hurting check a picknpull yard before you give up on a big 3 or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro7 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 What's so hard about connecting the two runs together with a fuse or terminal either? Honestly guys why hate on a guy trying to give us a helpful hint that we can get used wire on the cheap? Thanks for the pointer man!

I'm not hating on him but honestly if you had to piece wires together you should just buy the right amount of wire because more connection's is a bad thing not a good one.

Do it right once. Don't daisy chain cable either. If you can get away with shorter lengths with no breaks cool, if not buy the right length.

Miguels Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 more connections creates resistance by the way. that 1 gauge does not equal 1/0 wire. its actually smaller.. not saying is not good quality just saying its not 1/0 which you might have to check how much current that wire capable of im not saying its undersized but it says it right there 1 gauge not 1/0 which is not the same its like 2 gauge to 1 gauge 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch. Also that tells me my single run of 1 gauge from the factory isn't going to be enough, which I thought I could MAYBE squeak by since its less than 2k watts @ 167a draw but yea... Know what you need going into it. Calculating amp draw is pretty simple though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
