Bass4Lyfe Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 With my new bass setup my 1/0 wire isn't long enough to run to the back of the trunk. How do I join the 2 runs? If I put terminal rings on each end and just use a screw/nut to join them will this be really inefficient? I have the expensive allen wrench ends, not the crimp/solder ones. I'm thinking I'm losing some connection here... Also, would using another brand of 1/0 along with this one be bad? In the same car I mean.

In the same car I mean. well i know Stinger makes the coupler that will join both 1/0s together. as for the different brands of 1/0 i have Stinger for my positive and Monster for my negative .... no issues.

bangin_explorer Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) x2 on the stinger couplers.. and IMO if the runs have the same strand count, or damn close it will be fine.. but i would try to stay as close to the strand count as possible.

raytard Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 running a rear battery after the connection by any chance? id so, double fuse? one under the hood for the front and one in the trunk for the rear, be extra safe and extend your wire atleast thats my plan Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
