....anyway, do you tihnk it would be worth doing since im only planning on haveing like around 3000 watts? it will be in a truck to so the length from the battery to the amp will only be about 10 feet.

Less voltage drop means more power. how serious are you about competing? I think Im gonna try to get a hold of enough 1/0 to do 2 runs

im pretty serious about it, i haven't competed in anyshows yet but im investing alot of money into my car and i plan on going to about every show in b.c next season. but i want to compete in IASCA shows aswell and they only allowe 1 run of power. would i be allowed to just disconect the other runs for the IASCA shows?

CanadianBronco

Don't know, think It may depend if someone wants to be a ***** about it.

fuzionrolla

does it make a difference if the terminal on the amp is 2 gage and you have 0 gage wire ! like what do you do trim the wire to fit ?

CanadianBronco

trim it down or use a reducer. ( waste of $ )

just clip as few strands of you as can untill it fits with wire cutters or a razer.

its worth a shot imo. especially if theyre short runs like that why not? Its a sure spl gain at that point.

Id seriously consider switching amps though. Try looking on termpro.com of how many bad experiences there are with those soundstreams.

ok ill check it out, im not set on that amp it just has the wattage i want and the price is right. i always thought soundstream was a reputable brand.

Brian Sanders

soundstream is very reputable but that particular amp had major problems from the get-go. Very very high failure rate to the point where I think they just discontinued making/fixing them.
