in the middle of wiring, have a question

[thegeneral]

I am running wiring for a 2500watt inverter.

I am running 0 guage to the positive lead, but was wondering if I can run 4 guage to the negative lead.

Ideas??

u should run the same guage wire to both leads, and the negative lead should not be more then 3 feet long. ive had a problem running a smaller guage for one of my amps and it kept going into safe mode when i had it cranked up. it will do the same thing with a inverter.

Thanks, just what I needed to hear. One more trip to the store, but worth it from what you're telling me.

Have a good evening!

One more trip to the store,...

Good choice.
Not sure where you live, but it must be nice having an audio store open this late.

NorCal,

Just making my morning list.

that would be nice if 7-11 had an audio section though!

Ah, guess 15 hours of homework will make you a little tired. I read it as you are going to the store right now.

Morning visit makes more sense. And yes, 7-11 of audio would be nice.
Good luck with the wiring when it comes around.

Off topic question Mr. Balll

How did you become a full access/senior member?

I've been wondering about how that works and what the benefits are...

100 posts.

Looks like I have 15 hours of homework ahead of me as well... Any benefits other than the nameplate?

 

[MrBalll]

Not really sure. I haven't actually looked into it much. It may effect PM box limits and maybe sig size, but I don't really use either of those much so I am not too sure of the benefits.
Maybe a mod or more knowledgeable person will come in and reply on it.
