Mosley_23 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 Iv read in a few different places that i can use any gauge wire above 4 then iv read in a few other places that i cant use anything smaller than 2. So my question is...... is it ok to use 4 gauge wire for my big 3. I was going to put my stock battery back under the hood and put my redtop in the trunk but everyone says i need to use a battery isolator. Btw my amps are a BRX2000.1 & BRX640.4
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I'd use 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.
Mosley_23 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 But would it hurt to use 4? since i already have it...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 What size alt? 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.
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 Then it won't make a difference. Either way though I'd still do 1/0 because you will most likely upgrade in the future but you could just add the 1/0 in addition to the 4ga in the future too.

hoit Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 the time and work it takes to do it...I completely agree with Broke...go 1/0.(or even 2/0 hell!)..in the event you decide you want to upgrade, (most of us inevitably do) you'll already have the best electrical path installed. less resistance=less issues down the road. 2007 Chevy Aveo Ls sedan 2 Sundown Xv2 on scv4k @ .5 ohm 2 pair RE XXX 6.5 components on sax200.4 @ 2 ohm Big Three, Three runs 1/0 power from front to back, 1 ground front to back Two runs ground from rear bank to chassis XS power d3100 upfront, 3 Odyssey 2150s in bank Singer 220 amp alt
Mosley_23 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 My system is done im not going any bigger than what i have now its just daily. I can just tell my amps are not getting the power they should be so i figured it would be better than nothing
Mosley_23 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 Or what about just doubling up on 4 gauge?
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 At that point it would be simpler and better to do one run of 1/0.
