Never mind guys. Thanks for your contributions.

I doubt MA made it 100% efficient, which is what your equation is saying //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

75% efficiency puts it over 430A of current draw...assuming voltage stays constant...just FYI //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Regardless, this entire thread is academic...unless he's competing in dB Drag //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

u using 14.4?

I got 4644 with 14.4x430x.75 amp is rated 3600

Its actually very flexible and there aren't going to be any tight turns. I already have the wire which is why I will be using it.

Are you going to run it under the carpet ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

3600 * .75 = 2700

2700 + 3600 = 6300

6300 / 14.4 = 437.5

I'll get a flex picture for you guys if you want. It will be run under the carpet. All along the doors, there is a nice lip that will have plenty of clearance so there isn't a huge hump visible.

3600 * .75 = 2700
2700 + 3600 = 6300

6300 / 14.4 = 437.5

ummm wouldn't that be 175%

Iono I used 3600/14.4 = 250 / 75 (efficantcy) = 3.333 x 100 = 333.33 amps of current

K, my bad:crap: , its not welding wire. Pics shortly.

I'm just interested in seeing 4/0 wire . That's gotta be some humongous chit . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Here are pics.

First pic is with some 0 gauge stuff.

I still dont see the point of using that, specially since u wont be able to fit it into the power terminal on the amp anyways

I got 20 feet of it cheaper than a run of 0 gauge would cost. The amp has 0 gauge terminals and some shaving down won't matter at that point.

Nice wire
