Posted February 26, 20169 yr I got the wiring already so would a 2nd run benefit me? I'm running a 240a alt, xs power d3400 up front, big 3 and 2 kitneik hc2400s in the back. Soundqubed 4500. I just hear many different things and not sure if it would be worth my time. Thanks guys
February 27, 20169 yr I would measure voltage drop front to back(on a demanding song, of course). That would be the easiest way to see if it's needed and you would know for sure, instead of just hearsay.
February 28, 20169 yr Measure volts at front and rear while playing loud. But if you already have the wire you mite as well run it

February 29, 20169 yr Author I see many others doing 2+ runs and it would help reduce resistance but will I gain? Idk
February 29, 20169 yr You will gain the expense of running a 2nd run. As for other gains that depends on exactly what you mean. You won't hear anything....
February 29, 20169 yr Author Maybe I'll gain a few tenths. My wire is rated at 350a at a 20ft run according too Jon at sky high. My amp is 400a and I highly doubt in pulling 400a with a 240a alt. But ppl say to run another run bc I'll gain and more power, better voltage. Who knows
March 1, 20169 yr Is that 13.1v at the alt or the amp? See what the difference is between those two points and go from there.
