how much wire do i need?...

[Dirtrider4eva 10+ year member]

alrightty. i got two aq1200ds coming in the mail. they'll be going on a aq hdc3 15" a coils.

strapped and running at 2 ohm, 2400watts to 2800watts rms.

will i be safe with running 0 gauge to a distro and running about a 1 foot section to each amp? 150 amp fused per side...

or do i need to do a second run of 0 gauge. 1 to each amp?

you can do a single run if youd like, but two wouldnt hurt it at all.

see i know it wouldnt.. but it was such a hassle pulling out my entire enterior.

so im thinking about distro.. itd be a little easier on the labor. and im not going full tilt much..

Just do distro they only take 4 gauge so 0 - 2x 4 gauge is fine.

one run should be more than enough seeing as how most 1/0 are rated at 300 amps.

Idk why you talk distro you should run.to a battery or two then to each amp

 

[infamous_e46 5,000+ posts]

i can sell you or trade you a run of 2/0 if you like rated at 450 amps

hmm thats a smart idea actually.. run the 0 gauge to a bat or two. then from each bat a run of wire? hmm...

I have similar power, I have 2 runs pos and 2 runs neg of AP 0 gauge, before they used CCA though.

i see. i might just do the battery hop off idea. that might work better
