mrafrica Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 well i almost shit myself too when he told me about the 8/0 wire for the motor. but the terminal for it on the electrical board was atleast an inch and 1/4 wide for it. and like 1 1/2 inchs tall. ive found some 750mcm wire. idk the awg guage for it. im trying to find it. but i reguested a price for 15 feet of it. ill let you know when they give me one for it. Quote And far as the best connection ever....... get a huge fucking battery, cut the top off, drop an alt in there and then pour all that into your big amplifier. or just smelt them all together.

mrafrica Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 i think that 1000mcm wire is abit bigger to the equivalent of 8/0 wire. here is a link ofr a convertion chart i found. http://www.buyawg.com/MM2AWGCONVERSION.htm Quote And far as the best connection ever....... get a huge fucking battery, cut the top off, drop an alt in there and then pour all that into your big amplifier. or just smelt them all together.

12voltz+- Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 NO my friend ... there is no such thing as 8/0 wire largest there is is 4/0 then after 4/0 your getting in to kcm and mcm wiring which is measured in mm...... no 8/0 .... also usually when you get to wire this large in the kcm and mcm its usually multiple run of 16 to1awg wires wrapped up in the insulation... and is very tough to work with deff not fot cars.... there is some if it that is even bare copper or aluminum wire they use for high volatge application such as high lines utility poles ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrafrica Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 yes i found out after i did more reasearch that i couldnt find 8/0 wire. but i found an equivalent size of what i beleive 8/0 wire would measure.
