Andrew2944r Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) I have Ordered 2 new Alt and a Bracket to run both daily Alt will be 280 Amp 2nd Alt is 365 Amp competition Alt used for Shows only On the 365 Alt I need to run 4/0 to the back batterys, anyone have a good place to buy 4/0 Power Wire? And also is it really necessary to run fuses between the alt and the batterys. I have 2 runs on 1/0 atm for the daily alt with it fused from the alt to the front battery and then off the battery it is fused to the rear batterys and another fuse right before you get to the batterys are all these necessary or am I losing power from all the fuses. All American made parts in these guys Alts and they have multiple Alt Brackets. http://www.dcpowerinc.com/contact_us.php Edited October 2, 2008 by Andrew2944r Quote Team Ampere Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Best price I've seen on wire. http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/SaleSearc...RK:MEFSRCH:SRCH Fuse block and fuses. I use these on the wife's F-250 http://www.vteworld.com/content/electromec...anl/anlfuse.php Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsuv Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 what would the life span of this wire be, since its not oxygen free? or is it? I think it is? Besides when you solder the ends and shrink wrap them, the only exposed parts will be at the fuses. What would the life span on it if it wasn't oxygen free anyway?

What would the life span on it if it wasn't oxygen free anyway? dont have an exact number but more then a few years. I've seen cheap non-oxygen free wire corode after a year or so. And it was ran inside the car. Then again it was cheap wire. ive been told oxygen free wire is used pending on weather conditions and envirmont surrounds......

Oh sorry, thought u had asked for life span if the wire WAS oxygen free not if it WAS NOT oxygen free. Life expectancy of the wire for NOT being oxygen free was my initial question to you sir......
