help with running 1/0GA Amp wire and also looking for G5s

your right, that's not very accurate, but with that much power, even the more reason to seal them...

lol.. i just researched that meter.. it tops out at 130 and i didnt even know.. everytime i put a system together i counld get it pass 130 and im like WTF.. now i know..

So,.. when running the 1/0 gauge under the tahoe did you guys just drill a hole to get back in side or did you find a good groumet or something to enter back in threw

hole with rubber grommet.

if you drill a hole make sure you seal it off! lol thatll make a mess. we ran mine down the driver side. under the plastic panels and shit. wasnt terrible, but getting the plastics to fit after that has been a pain. one of em still doesnt. about the other subs honestly i love my l7s. theyre some monsters. im not a SQ guy tho. i just want shit to shake and fall apart. maybe its worth some experimenting? id say if you can get a good deal on ebay and build your own box it wouldnt be a bad idea.

I ran my 1/0 on the driver side door sill. There was a grommet for the gas pedal wires that i sliced a bit larger to fit the cable. Then removed the rear seats and ran it attatched to the back of the hump ( behind rear seats). It was a little bit of a pain in the ass just at that point, trying to make sure the cable doesnt get schaffed on the seat brackets. I also ran the ground the same way behind the driver side rear cargo panel, and drilled a whole in the rear tool storage compartment, and grounded to the frame. This was my first install in any car, and i personally diddnt think it was all that hard to run the cable. What kind of cable are you running?

bleh,.. still need to decide on an Amp spot.. right now its under the back seat.. but I kinda want to take it all the way back and mount with the enclosure

Never heard of it either. This is what i am running; http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.cfm?category=KLMX Kable# I bought 50ft. from them ( way to much but wanted to make sure i had enough if i ****** up something) I ran some monster rca's and speaker wire.

I just used welding wire, way cheaper.

FYI. make sure it has AWG on the wire, not all wires are made the same. I gotta show you guys some wire I had to compare (4 gauge vs 4 AWG gauge)

 

[blueflamed03]

flexability and strand count is what counts.
