07sOnAtA sp.ed Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Hey my b-days coming up , and my b_day money im getting from my parents , im getting 2batts from MECHMAN . Any way, i was curious to how much 1/0 gauge wire i would need to run both batts, and do the big three. i drive a full sized sedan if that helps any. what else would i need to run both batteries, would i need another 200 amp fuse and fuse holder?? any and all advice welcome, and thx in advance edit: right now i have about 15ft of zero gauge 2x 200amp fuses and a 200amp fuse holder, so how much more would i need?

pstone11 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 50ft spool 0 gauge, 2 total fuses/holders.... 4 if you go the safer route and fuse before and after the back batteries. Nice sack of ring terminals also. Check out StoneSounds to see my recent builds.Or look at the Flying White Facebook Page!

pstone11 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Say you have 2 runs of 0 gauge from the front battery to the rear battery(s). One fuse per wire, 2 total there. I stop at that. Some people like fusing between the rear batteries and the amps also. That would be an extra couple holders there... As for the terminals, I'd probaly grab 10 pair or so... should be fine.

pstone11 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Well, more to keep the wire from melting/catching on fire in extreme cases, and if the in-line fuse is less amps than the amplifiers internal fuse, then it could help out there also.
