draggnwagon Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 why do multiple runs of 1\0 to battery in rear if the alt and front battery only have one run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noobtastic14 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 efficiency can change with wire size and length. you can pull more current through a shorter wire- X amps may flow easily through one run of 1/0 that is 6 inches long but to keep that same efficiency over a 25ft run you may need multiple runs of 1/0 -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

tacomabanga1986 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 helps the flow of amps goin threw wire, like tryin to empty a 5gal bucket threw a coffee straw, rather than a garden hose more runs = less resistance = more power = louder music :hairtrick: , or atleast cleaner signal i wouldn't do a run of 1/0 pos n neg front to back unless i was over the 4k mark in power, maby 3k minum, and also helps charge batteries faster to here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hobby- Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I did a single run of 1/0 positive and 1/0 negative in my Son's car. Also did the big three. Hes running 1600 watts on an all stock system with no problems and no noise at all. Im going to be pushing the 4000 watts soon so Im doing a dual run of pos and neg in my Silverado. I just took out the old 4 gauge run from my first install. That stuff looks so tiny to me now. I must be getting crazy because sometimes the 1/0 starts looking to small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be getting crazy because sometimes the 1/0 starts looking to small I ran 1500rms off stock batt and alt with a 3 farad cap and i had BAD voltage drop.. sometimes it would get down to 10.5 volts but as of the 1/0 looking small i had it run to my amp and i thought it looked huge at first but after a while i didnt notice.. but ppl would look at it sometimes and say damn thats huge wire 2000 GMC sierra 1500 ext cab KMC XD Spy series rims Front doors Fosgate punch 6 1/2's stock tweets Rear doors Fosgate power 4x6's Probox 10 and box under rear seat Rockford fosgate R-500 Prime series amp (537 rms) 4 gauge wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be getting crazy because sometimes the 1/0 starts looking to small when you say dual runs. what exactly do you mean?? like 2 runs of pos a neg to the back battery or what?? 4 sets of JL vr (discontinued) 6.5 components 4 JL wo 15" 2 JL/J2 1000.1 Alpine v power 400x4 Kenwood h/u all in a hyundai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hobby- Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yep, whatever I run positive I run the same thing negative. If weather permits and things go well I should have it ran this weekend. I want to get my wiring up front done and get my kicks installed. Im tired of seeing the front of my truck all tore up.
