flashlight_65 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) I was thinking about this to save on some wire (took notes on the hoopty build and thought Steve's idea was dope) but something doesn't seem right or am I just that tired? same thing with the grounds minus the fuse blocks Edited January 14, 2010 by flashlight_65 Quote My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 everything connects to the buss bar. 1/4" x 1 1/2" is good for roughly 4-5krms. anymore than that I'd go thicker Quote 2008 California state record holder 157.2 Bassrace2009 California state record holder 157.0 BassraceRollin 50's 158.7db2009 King of Cali Bassrace2009 USACi score 160.5 @ 42hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight_65 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 thanks Ray. i guess it will work for the time being. now to try to find thicker aluminum. or would there be any difference if i used copper instead?

chevyhoe08 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 well copper is always better but u have to keep cleaning it every so often. either choice is good just make sure is thick.

flashlight_65 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 after looking at the difference in price between copper and aluminum i think I'll try to find thicker aluminum (2" x 1/2" x undecided) or just use 1/0 instead Quote My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight_65 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 could i double up the pieces to make it thicker or would that mess up the current flow mojo? Quote My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
