New System in the Grand Marquis (Build Thread)

The alternator won't get to Nate until Tuesday. When he gets it he'll send me the new one.

It's 250 amps at around 2000 rpm and 150 amps at idle.

 

Just need to caulk the seams, carpet, then drop the sub in.

 

Jacksonville, Florida man lol. I get similar weather to Pedro... wish I had weather like danracer though, damn.

 

I got some 4 gauge for the amp power wires and some 12 gauge wire for the sub...they didn't have any 10 gauge. I got 6 feet of Kicker Hyper-Flex 1862 strand 4 gauge and 14 feet of 12 gauge for $10. I thought it was a damn good deal. That kicker wire is really nice, extremely flexible.

 

Running the new 1/0 gauge...

 

Yeah the clip holding the carpet down near the front passenger door was popping off. I don't know if it's going to stay.

I've run the 1/0 in the car, I'm wiring up as much as I can on the amp rack, and I'm done with the box besides carpet.

Question: Can I have an amp power wire coming from one hc1800 and the amp ground wire grounding on the other h1800?

 

Nevermind. Is it okay to have the amps being powered and grounded on the first rear battery?

 

This is what I'm thinking...


Blue = 1/0 gauge
Red = 4 gauge
White = anl fuse

That's a mini anl fuse distribution block in the picture by the way.

 

But then it doesn't say Kinetik in the front lol.

Nah, the fuse holder I have is longer than the distance between the 2 + terminals if I turn it around, so i gotta make a big wire loop anyway.
