kirill007 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I would do the 3/0, because it doesn't costs much more then 1/0 guage. Overkill is good Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPINE408 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I used 2/0 welding cable it's still very flexable big and not hard to run/hide Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corteznewbie Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 and hell it handles 300 amps up to 100 feet. right my front battery at idle reads 14.2v and the rear reads 13.3336. it has to be that crappy soundquest wire. and yes the rear batter was fully charged before i installed it.

silveradoman Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 2/0 welding cable will be more than enough lol. I have big 3 in 2/0 and running to my amp as well and could barley get that in my amp terminals lol. It is still a tad flexible but any bigger might be a pain. 2/0 welding cable is heavy as hell too. I fused mine with 300 amp fuses btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corteznewbie Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 i'm hopen after the switch both batteries will read 14.2. not sure if this will effet the voltage but i'm running a 250 amp fuse at the front bat and right before the rear batt i have a 175 amp fuse. he ran out of the bigger fuses and usen this til he gets more in. then i'll do 2 300 amp fuses for the batt. and use the 250 for the rear batt to amp Quote Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugee81 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Yeah if you get adequate sized wires running through your car, the voltage should match or at least be damn close Quote 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corteznewbie Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 my voltage drop is between the batteries almost a full volt thats why i'm doin 2/0 welding cable Quote Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
