Knokin it 420 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 When I say 2 awg I dont mean 2 gauge I mean 2/0,come on guys I am not new to this, big three has been done.I just tryin to figure out what I need and keep it to a minium,example...How many runs of 2/0 should I run to the rear battery and yes it makes sense that I run the largest/strongest battery I can in the rear,so I will be running 1 Kinetik 2000 and 1 2400,how many runs should I make and will this give me some head run to run more power in the future.

dmanson Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Ok thanks you.Is that one run for postitve and negitive....2 runs total? or just one run? now here is a subject that i am still hearing debates on and that is whether to run a negative from the front to the back batteries. we all know it's cheaper to just ground the battery in the back instead of running more wire to the back for negative. anyways one run for positive and the negative is an up in the air thing for me because some people do the negative run from front to back and some just ground the additional battery in the back. if you have the money then make the extra run of negative and then ground the battery to the frame also. good luck bro.

Thanks man,that is what I am most unsure of as well,that why I was asking to keep it to a minium....so for the most part I guess I will just try 1 run and go from there.I have under built and if there is such a thing as over building an electrical system I have both many times,including a build for 2 PA 3000d Hopefully I can afford to get me an Atomic 5000.1 and built an electrical system to match it.They pretty damn effiecent from what I have heard.

Knokin it 420 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 a nice four channel amp to keep your highs/mids up to par with your subs..... Nah,I got that.What I meant was instead of running my 2 pa 3000s,just run one orion 2500d at .5ohms,what would I need inaddition with my kinetik 2000 and alt.U may be able tohelp me on my mids though,About the only componets I have heard in my price range/sound good, are the CDT eurosports,do u have any recommendations in the 300 buck price range.I was also think of running 2 sets of DD 6.5 in the front doors,no sure if it will work out I have to take some measuremeants.Gotta have mid bass.Thanks for all the help bud.
