Hey guys, I'm starting to gather peices of my new upcoming system. Actually I'm just finishing my current in a new car. Here it is:

HU: ...
front stage: CDT CL-61
amp: JBL 180.2
EQ: Audiocontrol EQX
subs: BA Inhuman 15
amp: JBL 1200.1

Where I need help is with the wiring. I want to run 0/1 ga the trunk. Then 8 ga to the 180.2 and 4 ga to the 1200.1. 120amp fuse at the batt. 80 amp fuse for the 1200.1 and a 25 for the 180.2. Do the fuses sound ok? Also, where do you guys run 0/1 without it showing too much? What am I looking to pay for the 0/1, thanks guys.

 

Hey TC

I'm just up the road in Ottawa! Your setup sounds good. I'm presently upgrading my wiring too. As for the fusing, I'm sure that 50A is fine for 8awg and that 150A is good for 0/1 awg (under 15 feet). As for wiring, I found a source through this forum (which I haven't tried yet, so let me know if it's good if you so decide). It's :

Thanks timmyturtle, looks like it'll be cheaper than I thought. GCA is a great place. Lots of members here have ordered from it and I guess they have great service. Sweet to see another member from around these parts. I'm actually in Ottawa quite often, gonna be there tommorow actually. Do you compete at all?

1. its 1/0 not 0/1. unless u are talking about 1 gauge then it could be 0/1.
2. u can get 1/0 at your local welding supply store. i pay anywhere from $1/foot for black and $2.40/foot for red.
3. u dont need so many fuses, just get one 150-200 ANL fuse for under the hood.
4. u can run 1/0 anywhere in the car if u do it right, i have 3 runs of 1/0 from the front battery to the trunk and u cant see or tell anything.

 

Where did you run the 1/0?

 

all 3 runs are on the side of my jeep under the floor carpet. i can take a pic of the place under which the cables are but u wont really see anything.

 

maybe i can take a panel or few off just to show u where it is. maybe it will give u some ideas.

 

I'd really appreciate that but you don't have to go through the trouble. Was there a channel to run the wire?

 

not sure what u mean by 'channel'? there was some room but power seats make it a biatch to do.
