Noob question about dual 12+/ground input

[Xprime4 10+ year member]

I'm getting my first real amp today //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

it's my first time with a dual 12+ and ground input. I just want to make sure i won't blow it up on first day. the amp is able of production 5k+ , but for now i'm just gonna use around 2500-3000watt in short burst

do i need to hook up the two input or can i do it with a single one (0awg)

or if i need to hook the two, is it ok if i use 4awg of diferent lenght (resistance)

that's not an usual (and boring //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif ) amp. Dual 12volt input and ground...

i know how to hook an amp up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif just not sure about bigger model. If there's two wire with different resistance (say they're not the same exact lenght)

id go 1/0 into both power plus grounds. you have a rear battery by the amp? just go off that to the amp.

here's the amp.

don't have enough 0awg left for the two input. but since i'm not really gonna push it for now... i think it would be overkill. a single run would suffice if like 2ft way from the batt

Does the amp have a name? Model number? Or did you just find the board laying in a dumpster...

Well if it's an amp that's not even released yet, your probably not going to find your answer here. Most likely those terminals are internally bridged and would be ok with only one of each connected, but you'd be better off asking whoever you got the amp from.

Jesus christ you are ignorant.

Will it work? Yes.

Should you do it? No.

Quit being a lazy cheap fuck.

thank nG, you're always so appreciated //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

btw i'll need to import the wire, wire here **** so much (q power at sick price)

why shouldn't i? don't need to draw 600amp, 300 amp will be overkill for now already.

I don't think Jacob knows alot more than i on this amp.

Just go with what nG said man, if it's only 2ft away from the batt, you only need another 4ft of 1/0 to do both runs...

 

[Xprime4 10+ year member]

no problem with that... but for now, i need to test it asap since jacob's "warranty" for doa is good for 5 days... it will take up to 2 weeks for the wire to get here

so i'm kinda lost for now.... just want to do a quick test without blowing it up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
