So that all makes sense, but when can you determine that you need more than one run? Headlights dimming?
Does voltage drop have anything to do with amp clipping?
Just brought my system into the "I-think-I-may-need-more-power" range, and i think I need more power...

 

yeah i just talked to my dad about it and he said if a bigger alt wont fit in, he will build me a custome bracket so one will, so i should have it all figured out pretty soon.

 

i tihnk for iasca if i had a seconde alt i would put me in advanced. im trying to make my car for street a and pro stock in iasca. im only going in stock pro because i have to take the back seats out of my truck so that puts me in a higher class.

but im pretty sure ill be able to make a bigger alt fit with a bit of work

 

u can remove seats in pro stock? lol thats really ghay of iasca.

 

dang get me an alt LOL...
ey brian would you get me loud already

 

all you guys should come out to Salmon Arm June 21 it a saturday. Gonna be a 1x dbdrag. 25 entry, 20 if ya pre reg. come play with the big boys and watch me get my *** kicked.... I will learn to get loud yet

 

guys..can someone help me or show me the way?i only have 1 run of 1/0..im planning to put more runs...i know what to do from the battery but how do you connect many runs to one amp?do i have to use a different conductor and put it near the amp and somewhere safe?what kind should i use and what should i do?thanks in advance fellas..=)

 

does anyone have any example of how many dbs they have gained by adding multiple runs. because all that wire can get pretty expensive but if it an add a few db its defently worth it.

 

I don't run any wire. I have completed the project of a Nuclear bomb explosion inside a 3rd order bandpass that will exceed 1000 db.

 

depends on the setup...every setup is different. The rule thumb with "world class" street spl setups that pull mega current from the batts is you will keep gaining until you're under 100 amps of current per run in each direction.

So if your amps pull 1200 amps of current...you'll generally gain until you get to 24 runs of wire. How much you gain towards the end is negligible though.

Also with multicells being disallowed in street (apart from SM) you dont need as many runs now either.
