- Today I'm running 50 feet of zero gauge in the F150 and talking about the power output limitations that i'm going to run into with my single 285 amp alternator and two runs of zero gauge wire on a CT Sounds TEAM 7000.1.

Just do 700 runs of 24 gauge aluminum wire and hope for the best. Now that's an episode.
Love you guys!!! 🙌🙌🙌😋😋😋. THANKS FOR ALWAYS WATCHING!!!!! :))))))))))
If you run 2 1/0 gauge wires into the power of that amp it'll be just fine. Each 1/0 is good for up to 400 amps per 25ft. 4 gauge is good for 150 amps. That amp is gonna rock out.
Pro tip #36: always zip tie your power wire to the exhaust. Keeps the wire warm in the winter and adds 25HP. 😉👍🏻
That's a great idea I'm here in Chicago and it does get cold. I will do this no bull and make a video of it and upload.
@@bigvell02 your supposed to zip tie to your driveshaft dummies 💯👨🏭
Your all wrong you should zip tie to your shocks and tires !!!
Everyone is wrong I zip tied mine to my drive shaft with no problems. The RPMs gave me extra voltage and never dropped below 14

Im pretty sure two runs of 1/0 can handle way more than 1600 watts
SoundmanCA Doug all I hear is people talking crap about how you do your builds but then yet they talk about what they have and think it's so much better but you never hear them say they work at a shop just keep doing what your doing loving every minute of every video. Plz go back to old schedule
seriously, I don't care what the upload schedule is.
I just like watching the audio installs and builds.
thanks for. the vids Doug.
Man, youre a genius!!!! I had run the power wire through the undercarriage a few years ago and kind of felt bad about it, I was used to always running it through the cabin. This just opened mi mind!!
So much for getting more work done there Doug.
I love it. They say you went too far, so you blow right past it and go even farther!
Feels like a one day video and a day at the beach! Enjoying the build.
First it was Casey Noseflat, now Douggie... That daily upload life must be soul crushing.
Looks like it's time to drop an auxiliary battery rack under the bed, run the 0 gauge to it to keep them topped up (as much as your alternator will, anyhow), and make some short runs of giant gauge from the amps to the auxiliary batteries. The extra batteries will be cheaper in the long run than like 20 20' runs of 0 gauge from the primary battery.
Hey Doug ! I would put some rubber gasket arround the hole where the cables passes through the chassy ... I would make a round hole in the carpet too. It looks more elegant and professional too. I'm impacient to see and hear the finished project ! My greetings to Rafa and his mom too ... lol
I think I'll probably be the only dude to say it, but I like the quality improvement of this upload schedule. Figuring out a wire run and installing it nicely, plus filming and editing a video (AND your other business obligations), is a full day of work and I feel that's what you've given us in the video.
Maybe some guys can do it faster, which is fine, but I'm satisfied with what you've got going on here. Before we would have gotten a video JUST about how you're sizing the wire and how you plan to install it. This is much better. Good job, Doug!
THANK YOU!!! :)))
You're welcome. I know it's early, but do you like it better too, Doug? Seems like you'll get a lot more shit done with this schedule.
Today i ran 40 feet of 4/0 gauge and felt like watching this. windynation welding wire pure copper. i did two 17 foot run's of it.
I expect to see you every day Doug. It doesn't matter what u did
Missed ya yesterday, fond of the old 5 day schedule. It matters what you did Doug.
Good work Doug!
I agree that the videos have a little more work in them, but still miss the daily episodes cuz that was my go to vid at my first break at work
Jeez, it's pretty amazing, to me, how wire can affect the end result. I'm glad "big" car audio is behind me as a hobby. Now it's just working with what I have collected over the years, what I can afford now, keeping it small and SQ up, within the cabin.
I'd have to win the lottery to keep up with most everyone here.
Keep the videos coming B, no matter the frequency, although more is better, I need that daily laugh, but I'll take what I can get. :)
2 runs of premium ofc, and stock cab grounds. Gonna have some glowing steel grounds straps. Also stamped metal battery terminals. 7k on a stock steel ground strap from the battery to the engine block, could melt the fuel line, and there would be vapors, and when it bumps, it could.... "explosion noises"
We all know just how close you and Rafa are. It's all good. And Rafa is one hell of a dood. He has come so far since the days of Spoon and the others.
We have to wait until Friday ? Unacceptable Doug Everyday we need an episode :)
I've always been told ofc 1/0 was good for 300 amps at 20ft .... it's a wonder none of my cars have burned down
zayres29 that sounds right, 1/0 is 50mm2 if i temember right especialy if its OFC it will defilatly take the current ^ with 2 runs of 0 hell be fine and have barely any voltage drop across the wire. Soundman can crank it without worrying
He was either reading that chart wrong or it was crap lol. A single run of 4 gauge can run a 1200rms amp and barley get warm if need be. With 2 runs of 1/0 he'll be fine. Plus that isn't gonna take 20ft of wire. It'd be 14ft from battery to back of cab at most and that's conservative
MY LIFE ITS NOT THE SAME WITH THIS NEW SCHEDULE MY LIFE HAS CHANGED PLEASE BRING THE OLD SCHEDULE BACK!!!!!
I agree :-)..
man irma was scarry im from puerto rico and it didnt hit us as directly as we was expecting and there are still 125000+ people without electricity :O
By the time you get the charging system , your gonna max the load capacity of the truck! Then the frame will bend , causing the fuel lines to crack, then the fumes will waft up through the holes in the cab that's also allowing the truck to flex making the nine tons of CCA power wire to corrode then short igniting ........" Mushroom cloud "......
U could add some battery's to the back that way u can use some short runs from them with 2/0 & some reducers for the amp inputs & just use the 3 power wires for charging wires for back few batt bank
You could get a couple of capacitors before the amps to make up for the need voltage
Lol I guys wanted longer videos so he puts 5 minutes of himself on the floor zip tying his wires...Gold
Lol the "friends" song was perfect, well done.
That apology was fucking golden 😂😂😂😂😂
good episode Doug I really didn't know what to do on my day off yesterday without seeing an episode lol
Always like you videos Doug
Dude all of those zip ties reminded me of a great prank you can pull on Rafa. Take a couple zip ties and put them around the drive shaft of his mustang. Make sure they are long enough to smack the bottom of the cab as they spin. It should drive him nuts, and it's completely harmless....😂😂😂
OMG Great minds think alike I use to do this back in automotive school.
I missed you yesterday Doug with that being said run that beautiful 0g wire 🔊
Thank god it's Wednesday..couldnt take a shit yesterday without an episode.
stickyleg *** freaking out while turtle heading trying to find new video lol
Doug, I had a CDX-c90 attached to an XDP-4000X via toslink. If I remember right, you had the option of using the digital out or the pre-outs on the c90. I hope this new Sony deck allows you to use both.
I love how meticulous you are with your installs
LMFAO the intro was funny af as well as the rest of the video as always good shyt Doug
Best ep in a little while, hilarious lol
That's what I did also except I had 2 runs of 2/0 in an loom with shrink tubing on that. 3000w rms.
I need my fix on a daily basis Mon-Fri, not no damn THREE days a week. Come on BABY.
I just need this CRACK baby. I'm itchin' for a rippin'. I need papa to dick rafa.
I'm dying to see how this system sounds when it's finished!! I'm dying!! I'm fucking Dying!! ..... Keep up the great work Doug!!
I love your mexican creeper, was that 1 or 2 ply
doug the minority report music is killing me LOL
Does CP amps eliminate amperage problems?
i miss the daily vlogs ! but you gotta do what you gotta do !
I couldn't poop yesturday, thanks alot doug. rip it
Doug send me some hurricane supplies.Dieing down here. Your videos keep me going
I was dying with that blower comment ... 3am woke up the misses lol she's not happy
Man you need to call Mark back at CAF and have him run your wires. "Ha, Got'em"
Glad to hear your doing some fusing, probably find that you don't have enough power in the first place to run that amp at full tilt. Are you going to go extra batteries, extra alternators or both?
Plz go back to daily videos
15 mins IS longer
Yea DOOGh ... Do what this man tell you to do! NAW
I hate the new schedule
Ty Knox rip it
he needs time to polish all that dickwood...video editing takes just soo much time
Now we're getting somewhere Doug!!!! Succa will be bassin in no time!!!
Can not wait to see how this turns out,,love the vids doug. Keep up the great work
Uses alien technology to cut out perfect rack, box and dash.... Then hacks a hole into the carpet using a butter knife.... JESUS CHRIST Doug. Condolences to Rafas dad
Fabio Gutierrez Jr your comment is perfect lmao
Good contexts! Love ya vids....but question you be looking high what's your favorite strain of kush
Huh.....what happened? Fell asleep for a bit! LMAO jk good episode Doug can't hardly wait to see the outcome of this legendary build😎🔊🔊😎
A good way to make a hole in carpet is by using a properly sized old socket, heat it up and melt a circular hole in the carpet.
Or put the drill in reverse till you make the hole on carpet than drill forward in to the metal.
hit up steve meade for some of that 8/0
I think I heard my order being made while you were on your back.
New subscriber, looking forward to seeing more of your work. Great sense of humor by the way..You had me rolling!!!!
Love the new Schedule!!! allows for more content and overall better videos ! Keep up the good work. and the the haters hate :D XD
Conrad Scott only now the "haters" are the majority... i know its difficult to do daily uploads... but once you started you cant go back
Doug, just an observation: negative comments seem to get more mention than positive ones. Food for thought...anyhow..LOVE ya work! ;-))
Have you ever used welding machine cable?
Doug maybe you didn’t think about this but your wire operates within that range. So you could get 1600- 3300 watts.
It been about a month are you going to spray the rest of your box soon since you will be finishing up wiring in about a week?
Isn't the fuse supposed to protect the wiring? If I heard you correct, you have a 250 amp circuit breaker protecting wiring that's only rated for 1600 watts. What's the point of the circuit breaker if the wire can still overheat and cause a fire.
I I know nothing about amps and wattage about how much would it cost for a good loud no clipping sound system 🤔
I was looking into getting 2 15" From sKar Audio with a 4 channel 2K amp
I'm wondering if I need to replace the alternator for a higher powered to be able to support all the connections and would I even need to get an indoor battery 🔋 🤔
your funny as hell bro
Reminds me of Doug Benson. Very enjoyable video.
Great stuff, bro..
sir...
today's WEDNESDAY feels like MONDAY to me......
please bring back the schedual...
Thankyou for putting my suggested song in ur video!!!😊

Ahsan Jaffery after Wednesday wait today is Wednesday bring back your regular schedule. Doug
Ahsan Jaffery i
You almost lost it describing the slurpy with ice cream in it hahahaha
5:55 lol, perfect Rafa transition
I'm surprised nobody pointed out that this wouldn't work. XD
Something to consider is.. most amps that don't come with fuses have short-circuit protection built into them.
why do you not do anything with hybrid no more?
Love that Beat Dominator soundtrack. Respect the 90's.
Curious why didn't you go through the firewall underneath the carpet and then up through the carpet just curious
Have you ever had problems with running the cable under the chassis shorting out or getting damaged?
I don't think there would be a problem. Every car already has a wiring harness ran underneath that has 10-15 wires in it that are 16-18 gauge, so how would 2-3 thick wires in a loom be any different? I have only seen them get damaged from stuff like people running over shit on the road, off-roading, and people running it to close to the driveshaft or exhaust in the first place.
All this technical jazz... Just wire it like some of the trunks I see in parts of Chicago. Use 4ga to run All.. Ive seen that shit power 5 amps, wire not even warm. The fleamarket 0ga CCA special has been field tested as well. The Midwest has tons of real deal car audio heads as well ;-).
I just started watching your channel. I must say the shit that comes out of your soup cooler is fucking hilarious.
If that is the stinger 6000 it's rated at 350a @ 20ft.
why does the amp have 2 (+) and 2 (-) terminals ?
BlckMax06 because it's a power hungry beast
Man I'm Done...🤣 This is post be about running wire im laughing loud as shit at work!! 🔥💯
Great show,DOUG....but only 3 days and not a full week of your shows.... kinda sucks. I hope you go back to putting a full week of your show. Any brother,keep up the AWESOME work
You haven’t seen my DJ extension cords. Running 2500 watts on 260 feet of 16 gauge on a 25 amp breaker.
where did you install the fuses?
My question.... I got a second battery for my audio. I’m running 6ga now. But upgrading to 0ga....... do I need to run the new wire from the front battery under the hood to the second battery and then to my amp. Or can I run the 0ga just from the second battery to my amp??
5days a week Doug. This new schedule sucks, what am I supposed to do Tuesday and Thursday?
That old school feel the beat!!
You got a like lol
Great vid like always 👍👍😜
my 2/0 welding cable that's equal to 1/0 audio wire. 450amps at about 30ft.
It's been hard to get used to wondering where your notification was Tuesday and tommorrow. But good vid.
Is that a factory alternator?
Great episode Doug, but when are you going to cut the glory hole for the subs?
Doug it may not mean much to you but I like your offensive jokes, they crack me up.
Lol fucking level of savagery that this episode has started with... damn!
