Is $150 a lot for wiring? and fuses?
15ft 0 gauge - custom pro RED - $2.89 per ft
5 ft 0 gauge - custom pro BLACK - 2.89 ft speaker wire - black 100ft - $19 SFB1MAXPT - MAXI Fuse interconnceting - $12x3 70amp MAXI-3pack $10 80amp MAXI-3pack $10 SDB034: One 0 gauge input, three 4 gauge outputs. - $11 total $143.80 all stinger... is that to expensive, could i get it cheaper somewhere else? -- amsgwp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over half a million post online!

View this thread: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb2/sh...hreadid=149018 You're mixing 70 amp fuses and 0 gauge wire? Use 4 or 6 gauge wire if you're only carrying 70-80 amps. It will save you a lot of money and a lot of installation hassles. Some hardware stores sell it. Don't get the skinny insulation wire type for use in conduits. |

For the price he's getting it for, I'd say use the 0 ga. It won't hurt

Sounds like he is running multiple amps since there is a distributor. I assume each amp is not 0 gauge, more than likely each is 4 gauge, so why would he want 0 gauge ground? Also, wouldn't he need 4 gauge power wire to each amp? |

I assume each amp is not 0 gauge, more than likely each is 4 gauge, so why would he want 0 gauge ground? Maybe he's going to ground each component to a block and use 0GA. to the chassis. I never understood that concept. Maybe its just me, but it seems like a good way to blow 30 bucks for the parts. I *suppose* it might look neater, but functionally, makes no difference, right? Also, wouldn't he need 4 gauge power wire to each amp? Maybe, but it's still a good deal even if he has to buy a few feet of 4 or 8 ga. Yeah, you're right there, just wanted to make sure, since I plan on buying some 0 gauge at some point in the future and splitting it into 2 4ga wires. |

So YOU'RE the one that actually buys that stuff!  I know I know ... even I went against my better judgement, and made an impulse purchase. |
