I wasn't able to afford the electrical upgrades to power this sub..Well fast forward to now. I'm now financially stable enough to afford the amp,batteries,etc...

I want to go with a Rockford T30001BD. I'm thinking of running a 240 amp alt, dual optimas one upfront and one in the rear, and 2 runs of 0/1 gauge. I have a few questions on doing this correctly.

Do I do 2 runs from the front batt to the rear and then then run a single one to the amp?? And do I fuse each run of 0/1 gauge as well.?? I'm kinda lost when it comes to supplying the correct amount of power to the Amp.

thanks matt

Yes. Just one run to the amp should be plenty.

...I would fuse each run within 18" of the battery. Meaning you fuse the front end...AND the back end. So each cable has 2 fuses.

Why would you need 2 fuses on each cable? I thought one would be good enough already?

Just want to know since I might be adding an extra battery in the rear in near future...

Ok. If you just have the one fuse in the front...and you ground out in the middle...the front fuse pops cutting power from the front battery, but since there is no fuse in the back, the back battery will still power a meltdown.

Fuse every battery positive wire, if the wire is covering any real distance.

i am using a 2006 350z

i use a single 12" set up

either

1 each TRF2212

1 each FI BTL

1 each TC 3000

1 each RF T2

i swap out GOD always

but i run a 2007 T40001BD at 2 ohms , 1 ohm and .75 ohm

i am using factory alt 120 amps , stinger 1000 under hood , stinger 680 in hatchback , 0 awg stinger , 300 amp anl fuse

my stinger volt meter hooked at hatch battery on stingers 680 cell seems to read 14.2 volts under normal listening and 13.6- 13.8 on pounding

so i am maintaing decent voltage with a T40001BD FYI

though a wrangler 180 amp alt would be sweet
