before i spend $200+ on wire...

[hove 15]

hey guys. quick opinion thread.

I already have my big 3 done and 1 run of power from back to front with 1/0. I have a DC HO alt on its way 200 at idle. i have 2X XS D3100 now and an optima red top onder the hood i will be replacing soon. my new setup will consist of 2X Sundown 2500D witch i already have. my sub stage is a supprise only some of you know lol.

My question is... do you guys think with me upgreading all my wire to Welding wire is actually nessessary?

my plan is to change my big3 with all 4/0 wire. and have 2 runs of 3/0 power front to back.

i am not worried about the $200+ i am spending on the supplies i need including the wire. I am just cerious to see what you all have to say about the wire upgrade.

thanks an advance.

No real difference between welding wire and regular car audio power wire other than the price, mainly. Doesn't really matter what you use, just as long as you use enough wire. By that I mean enough runs of large enough wire to handle the current load you will have. 2 runs of 3/0 should be sufficient, doesn't matter if it's welding wire or car audio wire.

I would think one run of 3/0 would be plenty.

yeah I think 1 run of 3/0. I had a talk with jay-cee and we figured... I already have 1 run of knu witch is pretty big. I will connect that run to my battery 1 and connect my high's amp to battery 1 also and 4/0 ground to frame. 1 run of 3/0 from front to back battery 2 and 4/0 ground also and connect both sub amps. also connect both battery's together. I am going to leave the big 3 the way it is.

how does that sound?
