fi audio Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 im going to be doing the big 3 and i was just wondering if it would help any to do the big 3 in 4 gauge wiring for the time being? Then do it in 0 guage when i get more money to acually buy true 0 gauge? Setup: Headunit: 7" indash screen Sub: fi bl 12 Amp: Audioque 1200D Box Ported tuned to 34hz Big 3 done in 1/0 gauge
Decaf Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 well u could double/triple up on 4 gauge if u have too for the time being ud need 2.5-3 runs of 4g to equal the current of most 1/0

Decaf Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 well the most amount of current that can travel thru 4g is ~140a... so if u arent ever exceeding that its OK ur trying to reduce the resistance in ur system in every place u can... this will allow for more voltage which is better so 4g is better than stock, and 1/0 is better than 4g
Soulman07 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 That depends.... Most cars come with 4 gauge wiring... some 8 gauge. So it may or may not benefit you any, It'd be worth a shot.. if you were using quality wire then sure it would. If not your factory wire may actually be what you need... If any thing add to what's already there. Then once you have the room to upgrade to 2 or 0, you can remove it all and use the best. 1993 Chevrolet SWB Pickup Viper 791XV Primer Stage 5/8 Static Drop Kinetik HC1800 Big 3 Knu Flex 0 Team Tex Flex

AI James Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 any addition is going to help some in essense, is it worth it to just add more little stuff, probably not imo but its something
