Tahoe System Rebuild 2009 is ALL BUT FINISHED and PLAYING!!!! UPGRADE to RF P2 8's 12/08/2009!

true, but also I said that you have plenty enough runs to where you arent anywhere near the limit of your wires power handling capabilities. That is why it doesnt get hot, but to the average Joe that has one run of 4Gauge pushing 1000W + Every added splice is a bit if a bottleneck. You have to remember that this is probably what this guy is used to working with.

I only said that he is correct in stating that by reducing the surface area the power has to flow, you are in a sense bottlenecking it. But once again this doesnt apply to you.

This is probably gonna go over alot of heads but Steve, you seem like a pretty smart guy so you should understand.

If your power needs require a certain amount of wire to be efficient, that can be translated into surface area of the wire needed to carry the load effectively without resistance.

simply put, if you need x amount of surface area to flow x amount of current, then as long as those buss bars etc. are equivalent to that number (x), then you could technically run nothing but buss bars and still not have problems.

This guy is just assuming that your wiring is barely enough to flow the power, so he thinks that because the surface area of the soldering at the connections and the buss bars is less than the wire, that it is bottlenecking.

Sorry, I just had to clear up my previous statement so that you wouldnt think that I too was an internet moron.

F*** umm steve let the haters hate love your work bro

like my dad allways told me if your goin to do it do it right and your shit looks great

[meade916]

nahh i dont think your an internet moron at all.....i think you are misunderstanding THAT douchebag. He thinks that since i have MORE connectors, i have done something wrong..........when i dont have a choice, i have to connect it all to itself SOMEHOW.

I dont personally think those lugs are bottlenecks in the least bit......but if they were, having more doesnt hurt (when coming from the same source) it only helps.

I don't understand why people think that not even a inch of solder will let the impedance rise, it will rise, but not noticeable with a normal DMM.

The buss bars in the hummer are always ice cold.

Never any heat issues, and all my rings are soldered also.

Like Steve said, if you have insufficient crimps, solder, or dinky buss bars then you might see some issues.

Kinda goes without saying though that most of us are not noobs.

We know that the ground wire is more important than the 12v lead.

And that bad connections can cause equip failure.

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.

Work.......... w.......o...r.........k

As in Steve M. needs to get his ass back to work.

[meade916]

bitch im at my job right now, im goin to work after i get off work so now what????

fucker

[sayhuh?]

Funny shit Ray.

I just try to always remember that opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.

Now get back to work!

Even then, it will be smaaaalll, unless you intend to pass 300a+ through it, it won't matter much Edited September 3, 2009 by lukaQ

great, now i got an idiot telling me i should have used 1/0 welding wire instead because it can pass more current.....man i tell you, i should rip all this out and do an all-star youtube install where i just do whatever the dumbshits tell me to do.

hold on.. my neighbor is selling a 2006 Chevy Astro Cargo Van with 300,000 miles on it and doesnt run.. we'll let them fix it over the internet also
