keith Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 I will be running 2 Rockford Fosgate bdcp 1500s and a mosconi as200.4. Alternator will be a Mechman 370 amp, both bdcps will be ran at 2 ohms. What i would like to know is, will one run of 0 gauge wire be enough to support the current. This set up will be for a daily driver playing music only. your help is greatly appreciated thanks.
Skullz Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 1 run would be pushing the limits of the wire with the gear you plan on running. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
islandpride684 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 1 1500bdcp averages 100A on music @ 13.8V so 200A for both, lets say the Mosconi does the same, so that is 300A right there, your wire is rated at 350A max, like Skullz said you'll be pushing it...I would do two runs and be on the safe side...just my suggestion...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Do you know what brand and type of wire you'll be running? 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.
keith Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Posted April 9, 2015 Batteries are xspower d3400 under the hood and d3100 in the rear. The way i will be running the amplifiers, max current draw will be around 250 amps. I will be using knucoceptz wire which claims to carry a max of 375 amps of current draw with 20 ft of cable, but it will probably be around 17 ft that i run.
keith Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Posted April 9, 2015 Forgot to mention the amps will not be maxed out for daily only.
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 One run will be fine. Extra never hurts though. 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.
keith Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks i really appreciate the help. I was looking at sky high sight and i seen some 2/0 gauge can any one tell me max amps on this cable.
SIDE SHOW Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 if you have a battery in the rear (near the amps) i'd do one run to each amp from the rear battery and a single run of 0 gauge from front to rear battery.
