Anyone have experience with this?

What's the final ohm load on each CAB?

What's the final ohm load on each CAB?

2 ohm nominal

 

[Mayhem]

Two runs of CCA can carry more than enough current to the rear.

1/0 CCA is generally rated for 250 amps depending on length.

With your current electrical setup, two runs are just fine.

Prob gonna be disappointed when you read this but ever thought about removing 1 CAB amp, rewire the other one to a final ohm load of 1 ohm and maybe sell off that other CAB? It'll ease up on your electrical a little.

Yes... I knew that as well when I bought a 50 ft. spool... I am not happy with the CAB 0 ga wire I bought... as I stated in another thread this wire is inflexible, lumpy, has a loose insulation and when you strip it the strands spread and fray like Don King on a bad hair day!.. LOL!... I had to wire the amp rack with Soundquest 0 ga as it had SOME flexibility and did not fray allowing me to hook it all up without too much problems... my hands are a little disabled still... Overall I'm pretty happy with the output and overall sound. OFC is next year as the CCA was penny pinching decision at the time as I had just bought an amp, 3 subs, Alt, interconnect and dampening within a week... I'll check voltage tomorrow when it's ONLY 100 degrees out... LOL!.. in the morning, I mean...

100 degrees.....wow!

Supposed to be dam close to 90 here on Sunday.

Yes... I did run one for awhile remember?... I had the amp that had that vibration damage issue and while I was waiting for shipping I did have the one at 1 ohm... but the output is a lot more with 2 strapped and at 2 ohms each these amps aren't loaded heavy and might last awhile... I will burn up or tire of these dual 4 subs and go with dual 2... probably next year... then I'll be at 2 ohms strapped... If I need to upgrade electrical at that point... so be it!...

Did you see the vid on page 4 or 5 of this thread... it was 111 in the shade at 1 pm... it was on the vid.

Yup sure do. If your only getting voltage drop at high volume only, I wouldn't worry about now. But...I'd keep my eye on it just in case.

Actually mines a '98...but a pickup. Did/used to have a 1992 s10 blazer. Sold it. The pickup replaces it.

Sh*t... I just realized that I idled the car thru the video... I'll try it again tomorrow at 1500 rpm or so and test voltage at the amps this time!
