0 Gauge

pd298 · May 19, 2012

Has anyone ran 0 Gauge power wire in their truck?

If you have, post up some pictures of your wiring route, and explain how you ran through the firewall, and how you hid the wire in your truck.

Feel free to post up pics of other amp installations too.

I used 4, I want through the rubber grommet hole in the fire wall for the e brake, just pushed it to the side and ran the power under the door sill and under the carpet to under the seat where its already cut for the power seat wiring, I ran the ground to a factory ground just to the inside of the drivers door, amp just sits under my drivers seat, and I ran speaker wire under the rear door sill to under the back seat.

just for your 1500.1?

pd298 · May 21, 2012

Yep. That's what the guys on the audio forums recommended.

And the terminals on the amp are 0 gauge, so I figured that's what kicker wants you to use.

Graygoose · May 22, 2012

Yes, 0 gauge would be more than fine, better to have more than less. And yes, we recommend 0 gauge

I ran my 0 wire along the frame under the drivers side and put a hole under the back seats. Pic in my build thread somewhere.

when it comes to current, can you over kill?
having an amp run with less volatge is less pwoer, and DC, or clipped signal. You can never have too much, plus, some want up too' a 0 gauge input.

I ran 0 gauge into truck cab thru clutch delete, and then 4 gauge from power dist block to each of my 2 amps, Im about to pull 1 of my 4 gauge runs however and replace with 0/1 gauge. Need more POWAHHH!!!! lol

What is this clutch delete that people keep bringing up, a preexisting hole?

0212353 · May 23, 2012

its a plate in the firewall. Its plastic, so its nice and easy to drill through.

pd298 · May 23, 2012

Can someone post a pic of where its at?

Voodoochi1d · May 24, 2012

pd298 · May 24, 2012

Is that last pic after you drilled a hole or is it preexisting?

scotts2012ram · May 24, 2012

The hole in the metal is already there. Its just a plastic cover that's bolted over it

pd298 · May 24, 2012

So you dont have to do any drilling to run the wire through the firewall at all? Or did you remove the plastic cover in order to run the wire through?

scotts2012ram · May 25, 2012

Remove the plate drill your hole in the plate. Then bolt the plate back in and then run your wire
