Quick question about ground distribution blocks
mlcantin posted a topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
If I get one of these ground distributions blocks do I need to ground it the frame of my car or does it act like a self ground. Answer to this question would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Matthew -
Quick question about ground distribution blocks
mlcantin replied to mlcantin's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Okay so I won't have to ground this one? What do you say Ricki?Well, Yeah you'd have to ground it regardless. Unless you have a magical amp that doesn't require a ground. Sorry what I meant was do I need to run the amp ground to one terminal and then run a ground out the other terminal to the chassis or can I just ground the amp in one terminal and call it a day? -

That amplifier looks like it is too big to even fit in my car -
You're right

So they can fit under the seat so people don't think you have an audio systemYou obviously do not know what the floor pan looks like under a 4 door dodge. I thought all trucks had the ability to hide subwoofers under the rear seat. My apologies if this is not the case.

CCA vs OFC is there really a big difference?
mlcantin replied to nigel's topic in Technical Info & How To's
No, don't quit talking, ever. Just don't help perpetuate this myth. Car audio is full of this crap. This site is supposed to help people. When certain things are said (in error) all they do , keep the dumb people dumber. I have no doubt you understand this thread, just be careful with what you say as you will confuse the crap out of others.Okay I like you. You are a chill dude. Do you know how to create battery terminals from scratch? You need to just private message him. Would you delete my post please? -
1 ICON can get very loud.Enclosure is key

They will hit hard but they are more sound quality oriented drivers. I promise though that you will not be disappointed if you purchase one

this is why I started this thread. I find in car audio especially, there are a ton of myths and misrepresentations, and a lot of dishonesty. When people stop talking and learning, these myths/misrepresentations start getting passed around as truths, and people spend money on things that they shouldn't.I've lost count of the systems I've seen where a guys is running a 1200 watt mono block in a subcompact with a 90 amp alt, and thinks that the capacitor the guy at (insert box store/sleazy salesman name here) sold him has solved all of his issues... When I started buying car audio 13 years ago, I didn't see any CCA wire, everywhere had just copper or 99% pure OFC (what they advertised). Now I'm seeing CCA kits, rated to carry the same amperage as OFC for 2/3 the price with salesguys saying the standard "electrical current is carried on the outside of the wire, therefore the copper cladding is all you need, this wire is just as good for less of a cost...." Have I mentioned I don't like most sales guys I meet... I guess I'm just at a point where I like to see intelligent conversation started based on factual information so that those who may not necessarily have the technical know how can easily see the reasons behind the why and how of this hobby/profession/obsession. On that note, I personally am not currently in the market for wire, was just looking for some info to feed my addiction. And a big thanks to those that have answered, I love a good discussion. And a big thanks to 95Honda, have always found your posts to be very informative and helpful, I remember reading your posts on soundillusions.net when I first got into this. And another big thanks to djjdnap for the info from bcae1.com, have loved that site for years. Audio constantly changes so therefore we are in this together to help each other grow -

I have their 1 gauge ofc cable and it is some if the thickest wire you can getAgain, this is what you guys are completely missing in this thread. The "thickness" of stranded power wire has nothing to do with the overall AWG. The "thickness" is determined primarily from physical construction and strand count. And when you are talking DC current, these do NOT affect performance... At all... Saying one wire is thicker than another makes about as much sense as comparing the jacket color...I did not say it had more capabilities because it is thicker. I just stated it is a large wire. Nothing more nothing less
