Saz 3500, or a ns1

[Bakesbaked 10+ year member]

I already have one saz 3500. Was wanting to grab a second one since they just replaced it with the scv 4000. If I ran the saz and an scv 4000 strapped. Would that work? Or just wire them up to one sub each would that be ok? Or should I just get another 3500 and keep them identical.

Another option is sell the 3500 and get a ns1....

Also on this note. I have two runs of 0/1 ofc with 350 amp fuses. Running to a second battery. Going to end up have 4 total g31 in the back. Will I need to run another + - cable to the rear with another 350 fuse to power both those amps? I'm also powering 4 more amps for mids and highs. Which all together have 250 amp fuse rating. Just don't want to start popping fuses.

Well u cant strap a saz3500 and a svc4k ..id just snag another 3500..and u will need a toral of 6 1/0 runs from front to back.3 pos and 3 neg ..u always want equal amount of pos/neg runs

He don't have 900 amps coming from the front.

No but additional wire flow from front to rear never hurts and can help voltage drop ..he needs at least 4 runs not just the 2 pos runs

Dude I only had 1 run for a while and didn't have any more drop than 2 runs. He does need to add ground runs.

I gained .4 at full tilt when going to 4 runs..maybe dimenishing results past that point but still

I dont have 600a coming from the front but noticed considerable less voltage drop when i added 2 more runs

The rear batteries take the first hard hit. Unless those are drained down not much power comes from the front. As long as he can flow what he has from the front that's all it needs. 600 amps worth of cable won't have a issue moving 250-300 amps.

Coulda possibly been my problem. .my rear dekas are getting 5+ years old

I due have 4 in total. When I said 2 I meant a pair.

Then u should be fine

So that being said two saz 3500 would pull how many amps? I've got 700 amps of fuse. If I add another one would give me a 1000 amps of fuse. Going to the first bat.

In total I would have a p500.1 p300x2 p300x2 p200-2 and two saz 3500. Is it really a need for that third run? Or will I be ok since there's other batteries taking the initial load?

Just want to be sure with all of those going full tilt I won't be stuck with popped fuses or burnt up wires. And the negative runs directly to the front batter with the big 3 and all that.

Also anyone know someone with a spare 3500 on their hands?

U fuse for max wire capacity not amps output.i kno most ppl think otherwise. But the fuse is there to protect the wire not the amp

Id try it with the 2 runs first

That's fine. Fuse for the cable not the amps. You have to think about how much power you are really pulling. Much less than you think. Also look at how MECA works. People burp and do 30 second runs fusing 5000 watt amps with 35 amp fusing to get in lower classes.

Ok thanks for clearing that up guys really appreciate it. Guess I'll be on the hunt for another 3500

They arent hard to find ...5-600 used ..good luck
