Gearsgrinding Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 So working out a build to start in a few days. 200amp alt, and good 1/0 ofc to the trunk, big 3 etc. I am using a Deaf Bonce Machete MA-2000.1D for sub And a 100x4 pioneer amp for doors. The Machete amp will be wired at 1500w @ 2 ohm Am I able to use the dual amp inputs to run 1/0ofc to it hooked into the machete amp, and then one coming out of the dual input to the pioneer 100x4 using a 1/0 to 4ga adapter. I have heard a couple mixed opinions, but the 1/0ga ofc should be able to handle it (with the upgraded alt), and wouldn't the input then just act as a buss bar at that point? I do a good bit of industrial electrical work for employment and am having a hard time seeing potential issues with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfkncar Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Good quality 1/0 is good enough for your 200A musical draw, the problem is you would need to give the main fuse a little more headroom due to the 4 channel on the same line and that's really not a good idea in terms of protection for daily driving, (e.g) rare but, you don't want a 200A dead short on a 250A fuse. A small battery or some type of block/bar/distributor in the rear would allow you to fuse the amps independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearsgrinding Posted May 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 That makes sense, i'll do a bar or something, and add a fuse for each line, i'll probably look in to adding a small battery just to help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
