Wiring 0 gauge and 4 gauge, two amps ??

[LsGuy]

Well if it's any relief to you, I'm now running about 1600 watts RMS on factory 210 alt, no battery upgrades, and no big 3 in my 2021 JLU. Zero issues. Charging normally, no headlight dimming etc. Although I do have the LED headlights, which generally require less power than their halogen brothers.

okay. I just added the LED headlights and DrLs. We will see. Just figuring out all the measurements now. Any chance you measured The distance between the head unit and rear cargo area for wiring the RCAs and remote? And/or the battery to the rear cargo area under the passenger seat? I can’t remember where you were mounting your amp.

I did not, I don't have anything in the rear cargo. Also, wanted to bring up the fact that you have a generator in addition to the alternator.

hmmm. I didn’t think about that. Does it make a difference in this situation?

I would think so. My understanding is that the system monitors the batteries for the start stop, and if it isn't charging fast enough the generator kicks in to speed up charging. Monitored on the way home, and my voltage never dipped below 14.3.

that’s cool. I bet it will be even cooler with the heigh10. If that is one of the displays.

See I had 240 amp fuse rating for my sub amps, and I had 90 amps for my 2 channel. I had 4 runs of zero to the back, 2 pos, 2 neg. Audiopipe OFC 0 gauge. Had them fused @ 250 amp per power wire.

Here's a Question that I may be confused about. What if you subsituted your "240A" fuse for a 60amp fuse. Obviously your setup would IMMEDIATELY blow that fuse/connection. i run 3 million watts and 7 inchs from my battery is an 80watt fuse. No clue how I continue to rattle earth's cracks

That doesn't make sense because my 240 amps of fusing was 8 fuses spread across 2 sub amps. Those are the fuses IN the amp. Not on a wire.
