How long does that battery last on that saw?

dont know, haven't even used it yet

and how do I measure how long it lasts for anyway? lol

I have a cheapo arlec jigsaw, cost like $50, had it for 10 years or something, and it rips through wood, doesn't cut straight, but if you know how to use it, its fine.

I bought a $120 ryobi jigsaw maybe 4 years ago, and it just doesn't cut very fast at all, I don't understand it..

unfortunately, I have a feeling the Milwaukee is going to be the same, but I guess I'll find out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

no real updates!!! just been crimping cables!!! but my crimper leaks oil, and I don't think its going to last //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

It that 4 gauge comming off that 0 and why do are you splitting it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Aren't the distroblocks suppose to go after the batteries. Not trying to be a nitpicker cause this build is way cleaner then mine will be.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sneaky.gif.7189749b3a3f769e8815b47e8ae87f88.gif

EDIT-nevermind

its 4ga running to the air compressor in the spare tyre well at the back of the car..

and the front channel amplifier(s?) will be mounted between the batteries, and get their power from there as well...

the distro blocks in the middle have two 0ga inputs, the second "input" will be used to connect to the rear battery bank (via a 300amp fuse)

the subwoofer amplifiers will then connect to the battery banks, via two 200amp fuses per amplifier.

the 0ga running to the front of the car is really only to charge the battery bank, not so much for running the system... trying to find a 200amp alternator

the subwoofer amps are being connected straight to the battery terminals.

this build is sick...gonna be loud when it's finished

need to go collect the rest of my purple 0ga cable //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Really man, I would just run both lines of 0ga to the batt bank(one to each) then just ground to the frame, then you can utilize both runs of zer0 for power. One run for 6000 watts is not enough, period.

You said these amps have 200 amp fusing, what amps are they?

If you have 400 amps of fusing on a 300 amp fuse, your gonna need atleast 600 amps of fusing.

I am really trying to figure this out, if you could explain a little more in depth how your gonna run all your mids and highs amps 6000 watts and an air compressor off of two runs of zero.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

clearly, you don't get any of it at all...

either you're not reading what I type, or you're simply not comprehending it..

I'll draw up a complete diagram soon.

clear is sh!t isn't it! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Listen bro, I've already tried to tell you how to get the smoothest power transfer and you think that you have it down pat. Double check your drawing and come back. They're are so many mistakes in that wiring it's dangerous.

800 amps of current trying to pull through one run of 0ga fused at 300 with different lengths of jumpers on the batteries.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif

ah, I'm beginning to think you're an idiot? or simply can't follow the diagram? lol

what exactly do you think it wrong with the diagram?

explain please?

P.S. please double check the diagram before YOU reply, because what you've said doesn't even apply to the diagram!

 

[TnT_Sounds 10+ year member]

what are the dist. blocks for?

They are not needed

Your battery has one power and one ground coming off it, then you split the power into 0ga+2 runs of 4ga. That is what I'm saying, pretty simple. Are you following me yet?

Then you have two amps drawing 400 amps each= 800 amps total then from there you have a 300 amp fuse right before the batts that will pop because you have 800 amps of current trying to go through it.

Does that make any sense to you.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

either you're not following the diagram, you're not looking at the diagram, or you're just plain stupid!!
