bassl0va Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 You may gain 0.1db from the increase, not even. I'm sure the best way to get it louder is to fix that box up. New box time!

cyoung1993 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 i agree new box time, but im saving every cent i have for my 2 12 inch RE SXX's in a custom box, a speaker amp and infinity kappa 5.25 components up front to match the 3 way kappa 6x9's in the rear. i would say build log, but i dont trust myself with this just yet soo my freind is building me the custom box, and installing it all. it shouldnt be for a while, considering im in school every day and i dont even have a new job yet.. but im workin on it soo.

But can you do welding cable for big3 and then from front to back, then use ultra fleks wire from kru from extra batt to amp?

CHEMMINS Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Welding cable is copper, not cca. Copper is copper is copper. Welding cable has less strand count than "premium" ofc wire. Which means less flexibility, but how tight do you need it to curve? No one does figure 8's with their wire. Welding cable isn't as "pretty" as premium cable, but will leave a lot more dough in your wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corteznewbie Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 well how many wire companies can take and carry 300 amps up to 100 feet and not lose any amperage? welding cable will hold 300 amp up to 100 feet w/ no loss.

R_Mac_1 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I have the big 3 done w/ welding cable in my car. I had to use a good amount as well because my battery is under my rear seat. I got mine from welding supply . com and it's the cheap black 1/0. Here's what I can tell about it... It's slightly smaller than good car audio 1/0 (based on the fact that it sits pretty loose in 1/0 ring connectors) It has a smaller strand count, but the strands are a bit thicker Not extremely flexible, but plenty flexible to get my job done I think for the price it's fine, though. I'm pretty sure mine was like $2/foot on sale when I bought it. That being said, if I hadn't wanted to save some money I would have probably used Knu Fleks. 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi Pioneer DEH-P6000UB Alpine SPX-17REF 6.5" components (active) Sundown SAX-50.4 Sundown z15 (3 cubes @ 35 hz) Sundown SAX-1200D 2006 Buick Rainier CXL AWD V8 Stock Bose system 12" Alpine Type E in aeroported box Profile AP1000M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEMMINS Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Especially if you figure run length for a vehicle.....welding cable good for 300 amps over 100ft. So say you average 40 ft (batt - amp - back to batt) The welding 1/0 is prolly good for 350ish? Not many people will even use that for their daily. Save the coin. Hide the wire. And using it under the hood looks factoryish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
