[QUOTE="Colt9699, post: 1082777, member: 562705"] Ok I went out and got some more 4 ga wire to do my big 3 upgrade and I was gonna buy ring terminals(lugs) and not sure of the size I need. I know they need to be 4ga but I am interested in the hole size of the ring? 1/4" or 3/8" holes? I was thinking the alt + is gonna need a 1/4 and the battery will need a 3/8 and i can use 3/8 on both ends of - to chassis ground and most likely 1/4 at the - on the alt and a 3/8 for attaching to engine block. does this sound correct to you all? sorry I'm just another noob who's lights dim just a bit on big bass notes! Also will a 100 amp fuse be sufficent for 4 ga wire? Ok I have a viper d300.1 amp and the owners manual says [B]the dual + and - subout terminals of the d300.1 are paralleled internally and the combined load impedance should be taken into consideration when connecting multiple subwoofers[/B] [B]What exactly does this mean?[/B] Says amp is a 1 channel cladd mono sub amp . So why do I have what seems to be 2 channels for a 1 channel amp? [COLOR=Red]Also is there any other ways I could make the sub connections?[/COLOR] I have 2 subs connected with the right side + going to the right side + on the amp and the right - going to the right - on the amp . the left side + is conected to the + on the amp and the - is connected to the - on the amp. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
