STEvil Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 yes MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

Integra_boomer Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 right now im pushing about 1100rms total (kicker 750.1 & 350.4). 4 gauge from the battery to a distribution block, 4 gauge to the mono amp and 8 gauge to the 4-channel amp. i got a stock alt (70/80amp) and a stock Duralast battery , i get voltage drops and dimming. what size of wire should i use for the big 3? oh btw i dont think will go over 2000rms for a long time so yeah. any suggestions? thanks alot people. Im in the same boat bro. exception for the small amp, i got a zx750.1 and 4 gauge running to it. And i have a weak ass 70A alt. My voltage drops from 14.6 to 13.1 and sometimes down to 11.9v. I hardly have enough to get the h/o alt. rite now so im jus gonna do big 3 in 1/0 gauge. im good running 4 gauge to my amp but i agree wit da otha guys on the big 3, do it rite n get it done in 1/0. 1995 Integra GSR (DB8) Pioneer 3200-DVD 6.5 rockford fosgate 2-way fronts 6.5 rockford fosgate 3-way rear saz-3000D (2) 12" SA-12s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also running a die hard batt. basically stock. 1995 Integra GSR (DB8) Pioneer 3200-DVD 6.5 rockford fosgate 2-way fronts 6.5 rockford fosgate 3-way rear saz-3000D (2) 12" SA-12s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also running a die hard batt. basically stock. cuz man i dont know if i really need to do the big 3 or my battery or alt is failing. cuz my dimming is getting worse :\. to the point i cant even see the lights on my EQ. and when the voltages drop to like 10-11 the bass decreases. iDA-X200/Clarion EQS746 RF T500-1bd (2) 12" RF HX's Kicker 350.4 Alpine & Polk Speakers Stock electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdsa23 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 You should use 0 gauge on the big 3 and in the car then add another battery then if it still drops get an H.O alt right now im pushing about 1100rms total (kicker 750.1 & 350.4). 4 gauge from the battery to a distribution block, 4 gauge to the mono amp and 8 gauge to the 4-channel amp. i got a stock alt (70/80amp) and a stock Duralast battery , i get voltage drops and dimming. what size of wire should i use for the big 3? oh btw i dont think will go over 2000rms for a long time so yeah. any suggestions? thanks alot people.
