LOTS OF PICS, system touchups :)

as i said before, granted it's not like a shop's fancy smacny charge you $200 for simple labor shit.....but with limited supplies and tools i think it turned out alright...

if you dont like how it looks, im glad you can do a better job on urs, i just found it a little more difficult to organize dual runs(sometimes tripple) of this thick of wire, looks crazy, but i had limited lengths and resources guys....

as for the cone...ya thats how i got it...but i should have a new dustcap from tc sounds any day now....you can thnk phat tony for screwin up the cone on that one.....

bottom line is....it works, it's realtivly organized (considering how NON-bendable some of that wire is) against elements of limited space, resources, and tools.... so if you have a shop or an install garage or have access to tons of tools and could do better, you earned a cookie.....i didnt have some of the liberities with this some of you may have access to...but aparently you guys overlook that...

besides it's not THAT bad...it's decent...and it WORKS GOOD //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i think its pretty organized, i just dont think u should have bought that 3/0... In theory u probly would have been just as good with a 4g cable

^ x2 Lol

A fairly short run shouldn't take a ton of wire, just seems like overkill to save a few tenths of a volt, especially if the longer runs were done with less wire, and home depot wire? Find your local welding supply warehouse, chances are, you'll get better wire for less there.

x3 on the issue with the wires runnignt hru there... Put some plastic around the corners... Like this:::

Nevermind.. cant find tghs site, but u know what were talkin about.

lol @ you agreeing with me but not knowing what im actualy talking about.

each amp likes it's own 0awg and can draw around 150amp at full tilt so thas why i wanted each one it's own 0awg.....the extra around the big 3 was just put in due to haveing the extra wire laying around

uhhh i guess u didnt get the memo on how electricy works?

What is wrong with the wire he chose? Is it because it has such a low strand count or the overkill?

 

[BassAddictJ 5,000+ posts]

the wire was cheaper and getsthe same job done..it's justa ***** to work with.....

but it works like a charm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

im just glad my semi outstanding looking setup owns most fancy installs from shops that cost hundreds of dollars for the same labor....... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Looks good bro........

Could it of been better ............yes.

Will it work..................yes.

Just look at it every once in awhile for wear on some edges and stuff,but looks ok.

Its the lower strand count..

Electricity travels on the outside of the strands... he had the right idea of the 3/0 (great stuff) but only having 19 strands kinda kills the point of having such a heavy wire.

SO...

6000strand 3/0 > 1500strand 4g > 19 strand 3/0

lol @ you agreeing with me but not knowing what im actualy talking about.

The amperage, a short run of wire has less resistance and can handle more amps before melting...however, the more resistance the wire has, the more voltage drop you'll encounter with it.

If you were to decrease the resistance by running a lot of wire, you get less voltage drop.

not worried about it, doubt thats gonna be an issue, that insulations is good and thick
the pic makes it look alot worse as far as the sharp metal and whatnot....but i looked at it throughly and i didnt feel the need for any extra insoluation.....it's thick as **** as is.....

That will ground out one day and my cause a nasty fire. I have aluminum intercooler pipes on my turbo truck. Just a pc of wire lume laying against one of them rubbed through at around 30,000 miles. Your outer wire jacket will get worn away much sooner (because of the sharp edges where you drilled the holes).

i'd disagree with you. 19 strands of 10 gauge wire (roughly awg standard for how much current 3/0 can handle) it's going to be equal to 8000 strands of 36 gauge awg. the only difference is the ability to move the wire around.

hmmm.........wish there was a way to tes this for real world voltage drop without swithing out w/ diff wire and measureing voltage..........ehhh........ :*(

lol until it catches fire lol, what is it 5 bucks maybe to throw something in the holes to make it were they dont vibrate

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**TIMES TWO**!!!!!!!.Really...NOT being Sarcastic or Whatnot....But It would be a shame NOT to do something to protect the Cables.All The Best With Your System/
