IH8PunkRok Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 how about if i use 0 gauge from the amp to my back batt then do a run of 4 gauge to the front?? meh get some two gauge if you cant get 0 if you cant get either then dont worry about. just be wise about how you play -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapo123 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 because i already used up the 20ft of 0 gauge i had in the other car for the btl. this is gonna be for 2 12 type r's. and the car has a stock 140 amp alt i think. not sure if that affects this question much Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm assuming the IDK in your name stands for I Don't Know. Because man, you sure as shit don't know what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 how about if i use 0 gauge from the amp to my back batt then do a run of 4 gauge to the front?? more current will flow to the amp from the battery, but the alt wont be able to charge the battery as fast as the amp is draining it. plus you will more than likely burn the fuck out of the 4 gauge. use 0 gauge. you wont regret it later on.

J00bles Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 i cant believe nobody has asked this yet: how long is the run? if the run is from the front battery to the amp, then you need to use 1/0 if the run is within 3 feet of the battery, you should still use 1/0 but could probably get away with 4 (if you had some laying around already) 8 DC Level 4 M2 15s2 DC Audio 5ks26^2 clamshell tuned to 30hz9 Kinetik 1400sMechman externally reg'd 340 S seriesin a 99 Jeep Cherokee Click to see J00bles' Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
