if your really worried about dimming lights and such, then upgrade your "big 3" using atleast 8awg wire (first make sure you need to before you do it)...

but after installation, if everyting runs accordingly and there isnt any dimming of any sort, then forget about the big3 upgrade idea :biggrin:

-qs

8ga :twak: :twak:

Id go with 4ga at a bare minimum, 1/0 or 2ga would be better...

4 gauge, not bigger then 0 gauge, I just think that 1/0 Gauge is overkill unless you have a big system, take it from me 1/0 gauge is fun to work with.

can get some 4/0 and run it along the frame of the car :biggrin:

See, im strange..... I usually buy 2/0 welder wire and use it for the big 3 ... mainly because im cheap and even at pretty much any local industrial electrical dealer you can get it for $1.50 a foot.

welding supply stores are a SPL competitors best friend :biggrin:

Well I would not use Welding cable from the distribution block to the Amps, but from the Alternator to the Battery would be cool.  Welding wire is not designed to be used with a Car Stereo amplifier.

uh why?

Then I am gonna sit back and watch you guys come on here and complain that your amp was fucked up some how or another.

the only time Ive had an amp blow was due to me running modified bd1500s and 1501s (no protection) and I had a subs blow thus smoking several of my amps (6 per sub)

Dude, you're fighting mental health if you think you can convince him he's wrong.  I guess if you put your foot in your mouth enough times, it stays.

he sounds like a car audio salesmans wet dream....."cant buy welding wire its not good enough for car audio applications"

paying less than $1.50 a foot > $3.59 a foot

Well then what type of Welding wire are you using.  Secondly, if you were to look at my AVATAR you will see that I am in the Navy.  I have been installing since like 91, and I tried the whole Welding wire thing.  What I said was that you can run Welding wire from the Alternator to the Distribution Box, but from there you should run Standard Car Stereo Power wire.  If that was the case I am sure that you would be able to go to a car stereo shop, and there you would find a bunch of people running Welding wire, vice Stinger, Phoenix Gold, but I am sure that you know better then them, so go ahead, take care of yourself however you feel you need to be.  Lastly if you are that into World finals, and all the rest of that bullshit, you should be able to get a discount price, and you should not be paying $3.59 a foot.  I don't pay that much for power wire.

I could have a long drawn out reply but thats not going to change anything.... You think welding cable cannot be used in car audio applications then continue thinking that. And contrary to what you seem to think you know, the vast majority of compeititors out there pay full price for what they run and I was one of those people. Stop all the hate and relax rookie.. its not that bad

It is Me and Fishman

If you do not know who fishman is, he is probably one of the Top installer in the world.  His work with Fiberglass has changed the way people instal stereos.  He was also the First person to instal a Fish tank in his vehicle

he is one of the most creative installers and has some of the best lookin isht, but as far as sound goes Id place him behind several other installers... ie Biggs, Eldridge, Fukuda, Ross etc.

None of those guys holds a candle to Richard Clark, but Fish change the Installation aspect, he was not about SQ, but most of those guys are okay, came after the real pros, like Speaker Works

Ive never heard of any of Clarks installs, but if you think Biggs, Eldridge, Fukuda, and Ross are only "ok" then you dont know much about high end installs. Ive sat in the Speaker works Grand National and it sounded amazing just like Marks 4runner and Garys Regal did. Ask someone thats really into high end sq and they will let you know the same thing...

Well then it tells me alot if you do not know Richard Clark, considering he never lost a Car Stereo Competition, when Biggs, Elridge, fukuda were losing too him.  He was the one that bought the Speaker Works Buick, and re did it completelely.  He introduced the world to Caps, 6 Speakers with 9 Amps.  You name anything that is new in Car Stereo and he started it.  I am just wondering when you sat in the Speaker Works Grand National, considering it has been sitting in his garage since about 1995. :dunno:

It was in Orange when I heard it at a show they hosted. And When I say Ive never heard of RC's installs that means Ive never sat in the car and heard them with my own ears. :0

Richard Clark would be called a no0b on SD.  Has anyone noticed that the Stillwater guys dont post at SD anymore, and you never see Dan Wiggins on there anymore. hmm, wonder why?

RC would most definately get called a n00b in SDOT :cheesy:
I thought Dan stopped posting a few weeks before the change to a dealer system w/adire. I know his boy Stephen posts there occasionally. Tracy aka Polecat (kicker) doesnt post on SD anymore? I never bothered to go back there after I got banned for not agreeing with Grandmaster and the rest of the fanboys about Ascendant Audio being the greatest ever

 

[Pitbullx]

I was only on SD for the Off Topic... I made the mistake of venturing out into sub solutions trying to help people.... I got teh bannage for making the resident "gurus" look like the idiots that they are...
