this car has alot cables

i have 42 runs in my street C
good luck on achieving your goal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

When are you flying me over there Peter so I can learn something? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

So he hung out with the Team Cactus Sounds guys? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

with the guys in netherlands yes

the reason for so many cables isas long as u draw less than 100 ampere thru 1 wire u wont see a gain when adding wires

my amps (4 pc) draw a total amount off 2200 ampere from my 2 battery's

i have 21+ and 21-

when having more than 100 ampere thru 1 wire u will gain in score when adding wires , voltage drop will also be less when u have more wires

can you elaborate?

why only 100 amps and im guessing thats for 0awg only?

What would gain more

#1-2x 0awg positives from up front to 2x batteries in the back and then to amps with a massive big 3 job

#2-or 1x 0awg pos and 1x 0awg neg run up front to 2x batteries in the back and then an amp?

Im thinking #2 is the way to go but to increase the amount of grounding capabilities id ground the negative cable from the battery to the rear so it will run through the 0awg and the frame. Will this cause a ground loop by any chance or just decrease the resistance of the circuit helping with voltage drop?

summary:

I have 2 runs of 0awg.

15+ feet of 4 awg

Big 3 is done with 1x0awg and 2x4awg

137 amp alternator.(for now)

1 stock battery plus 2 dekas(850CA)

what can i do to minimize my voltage drop.

It will be powering and orion 2500d and an orion 8004

so around 3k wattsif im lucky

Im hoping some expert can post up some advice for me or pm me. I know your out there somewhere! Or if someone can atleast tell me where to look.

we know what amps you are really running...

I used to run that before btw...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

anyone? is it even worth adding my 4awg hyper flex to the 0awg run of +?

 

[AudioAnonymous 10+ year member]

no.

 

[Team CS peter]

what happend to this project ?

Resistance is established by run length, not just amount of copper in the cross section. If the single run to the amp is largest enough gauge and a short enough run, it could display just as little resistance as those 23 runs coming back from the front batts.

I obviously don't know any of the dbdrag rules, but why wouldn't a competitor just mount the amps within a foot of the battery to minimize run lengths? You could even run a battery to each amp and use copper bars rather than cable.

Hell, my longest run in my car was 2.5 ft and I did it just for the sake of less cable.

In dB Drag Street classes you are limited to one battery in St A and St B that must be mounted in the OEM location. Also, amplifiers must be mounted in the rear behind the B pillar. Even in the smallest of cars this will require 6ft length at a minimum.

For daily/regular spl applications what he said doesnt apply. He is talking about gaining minimal SPL levels(we are talking tenths of a db) over a short period ( 3 seconds ) In a very specific circumstance, (dbdrag battery limited classes)

in street a & b the batt has to be in the factory location & amps have to be behind the b pillars of the car.

OH MY GOD. THIS THREAD IS FUCKING FULL OF N00B.

post scores when you get them..

Got it, thanks. My OEM battery location is the trunk so it was only natural to have short runs in my car.
