Question about 3/0 wire


Recommended Posts

Posted

i got about 100 ft of #3/0 wire and im not sure what kinda amperage it can handle and what fuse to put on it. its just standard welding 3/0.

- American Bass 500.1

- 60 ft of 3/0

-480 Ah of battery

- (2) stock alternators (70 +90)

- Kenwood Excelon x-794, 4v preouts

car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol

i would at least say 475 amps DC. you would need to get cable terminals and bolt it to a buss bar then have other terminals comming off of that. to what ever size you want.
