brewer_brewer Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 when you double the runs of wires that means you have like 2 or 3 1/0 gauge going to the battery? yep. you'll be fine with just one run of 0 gauge. i recommend knukonceptz just because they the best you can get for the money. and upgraded electrical is big 3, upgraded front battery, extra batteries elsewhere, upgraded alternator. anyone of those listed will help you out. if your not familiar with the big 3 here is a link to what i'm talking about. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=13280 Quote REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpindemlowzz Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 yea im going to do 1/0 wire this friday when i get paid.. and by upgrade electrical what exactly is that? meaning upgrading alt?.. sorry about these idiotic questions just got into bass recently and am ilinformed Haha im learning too but an upgraded alternator never hurts from what i hear and audio batts. theres a formula i think that tells you how much amperage your amp takes at its peaks so you at least need that much power plus what the car needs more is usually better in this case. If your voltage is perfect then you could get a mla module to get more out of your amp also. Im going to be running a sundown 2000d and a sundown 100.4 or simular and im getting a 275 amp alternator and some kinetics. I plan on going bigger down the road too tho.

Soulman07 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 when you double the runs of wires that means you have like 2 or 3 1/0 gauge going to the battery? That's to the rear battery bank actually. Not directly to the amplifier, The amp would feed off of the rear battery. I think you said stock alt and battery, so one run of wire should do since you don't have any additional batteries. I'd look into getting one though!

David Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 yes it will help even with a stock alt think of the wire as a garden hose, the bigger it is the better the flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotz1lung Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) While you are picking up your new wire, make sure to order crimp rings for your big 3 needs, and groud wires,i think i used 10 to do mine, and a FUSE HOLDER/ Fuse...Bigger hose means more water to spill, so PLEASE make sure you have the proper rated fuse in line.. Good-luck! *edited for spelling cuzz i suck at it Edited June 18, 2009 by Gotz1lung Quote 93 Chevy Silverado Crossfire,Dayton Soon to have 6 Lvl4 15s DC Audio Dealer and Team Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
