thegr8cody Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 i need help with my wiring i'm running 2500 watt amps,a basic battery up front and a kinetic in the back,i was gonna do 4 runs of 4 guage or 2 guage,2 positive and 2 negative but i'm not sure how i do it,i've seen steve doin it but i'm not sure,i know one goes to a fuse block then runs to the back,do i do 2 off the battery or 1 off the battery and 2 off the block?and with the grounds do i ground one in the back by the batterys and the other to the - on the kinetic?and i do 2 runs of + to my amps off the backbatterys and have 3 differnt grounds,one for each amp and one for the back battery?i believe thats right just wanna make sure Quote 1998 gmc sierra h/u:eclipse cd3200 sub:dd9518g d1.5 amp:jl e300/4 sub amp:dd m2a front stage:id ctx65cs dc power 270 alt lots of kicker 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmanson Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 just do two runs of 1/0 gauge and that should be efficient enough vs 4ga or 2 ga Quote 2-DC 15XLM2 D.7s 1-DC 5K amp (1) XS Power D6500(UNDERHOOD) and (1) XS3000(REAR) 3 runs 1/0ga for power and 2 runs of 1/0ga for negative.

thegr8cody Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 can i get away with doin 4 guage though,im not tryin to cut corners but i got alot of 4 guage,and when i ground my back battery to the chassis can i ground both my amps to the battery or do i have to have seperate chassis grounds for them Quote 1998 gmc sierra h/u:eclipse cd3200 sub:dd9518g d1.5 amp:jl e300/4 sub amp:dd m2a front stage:id ctx65cs dc power 270 alt lots of kicker 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S12X Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 i would also advise the 2 runs of 1/0...less mess and more flow Quote new setup in the works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegr8cody Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 well if i do o the 4 runs of 1/0 guage is my wiring for the batteries right?positive to positive negative to negative and the positive off the back battery i can run two 4 guages off for my amps right?

S12X Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 that sounds right but i would advise you do larger than 4 gauge from the batt to the amp...bigger is always better Quote new setup in the works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegr8cody Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 i would but i cant do to much bigger than 4/0 maybe 2/0,the positives off the back battery to the amps do i have to fuse those Quote 1998 gmc sierra h/u:eclipse cd3200 sub:dd9518g d1.5 amp:jl e300/4 sub amp:dd m2a front stage:id ctx65cs dc power 270 alt lots of kicker 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
