Should I(electrical question)

Recommended Posts

do two runs of 1/0 awg 1 for ground and 1 for power or just ground to my chasis? i dont plan on running a ton of power. around 2000rms total. i do plan on adding a couple batteries though.

i already have a run of hyperflex for power and picking up another 24ft in a few hours. i know running the ground to the batt has less reistance than a chasis ground but would i really notice anyhing between the two with such little power? if i dont do another run i can do my big 3 today, but i would rather do two runs while my car is apart than doing 1 run and big 3 and come back and tear everything apart again.

1 run will be sufficient for that power, but 2 wouldnt hurt

well at this point in my life money is the issue. im trading my old cd player for the 24f of 1/0awg. i got lucky i guess.

a chasis ground can be seen as a free run of 0 guage. In most applications it will work just fine. a single run of 0 guage for your + should be good enough. besides multiple grounding points may lead to grounding loops which is another story all together.
