3000 watts RMS 1/0 gauge how many runs

[PSturmer 10+ year member]

Besides a tenth, maybe 2, on a volt meter - what did he expect?

2 runs vs. 10 is a big deal for the competition world.

for daily driving it doesnt matter.

i got an 02 avy, stock alternator, kinetik800 up front, kinetik2400 in back, one pos one, one neg, and im running about 2800RMS watts, no dimming, unless i sit idle and play like a 60hz test tone full volume lol.

i never really understood the whole "10 runs of 1/0" and all that. i dont see how it would help.

i mean if your running an assload of current, then 1 run wont do. but i hear people claiming gains running 3kw, with runs as short as 12' of 1/0. maybe i havent read into it too much but my 3kw example just doesnt sit right with me.

For effect more than anything.

Once you have "enough", going overkill won't change the mic.

I guess looking at a wire sizing chart is a lost art these days. What the heck, guessing works too.

you will not get gains at that low of power. i am talking 15,000 watts out of 2 batteries. one of my favorite::

2400 Batt should do just FINEEEE with 1 run... BUT if I were you...since you are runnin a 0Gauge anyways..might as well run a 4 gauge with it and thenjust split it into dual 4's with a block

 

[snb778 5,000+ posts]

no its not. i have a stock alt and 2 kinetik batteries are 5000 rms. voltage is very good. 12.2v is the lowest i do on a song.

do 2 runs of 1/0. one run going from pos to pos and another run going from neg to neg.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....WHATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

Your tellin me your Ground runs the entire length of your car?!!!
