Question on Wire Runs

I will be redoing my wiring in my truck and have 100' of 1/0. Should I make 2 runs of power and 2 runs of grounds or should I make all power runs and a few grounds to the frame near the rear batteries.

I've read that people do it both ways. What do you guys say?

its something that has to be tested i have seen on here guys say they lost a few volts doing so many grounds an some gain from doing onthe frame a few inches from the batt.
like i said its something that has to be tested. good luck bro

what about grounds from the front batt to the back batts Supa?

like i said i don't run but one positive run to the back my batt is ground to my chasis an it does fine. now i don't have a huge build like most of th guys on this site, like i said its something you have to test. you can do just 2 or 3 runs of power to the back an then ground all batts to the frame or do 6 runs 3 power 3 grounds an see what ya voltage does. an don't mind 6 it was just an example

I have 4 1/0 grounds and and 2 4/0 grounds all close to the batt's

so chris ya got 4 pos from front an 2 grounds in the back ?

So maybe I'll do 3 runs of 1/0 pos and a separate 1/0 grounds close to each battery.

I only have one 1/0 posi from the front!
And a shitload of grounds!

How many amps & batts you got chris?

In the trunk carJust 2 amps and batts! One in the front one in the back!
In the sdime that is a difrent story 20 power master d1000 and 6 d5's lol!

All you got is one run of pos to the back in the s dime? DAMN

I've done it both ways.....upgrading all your factory grounds helped me with only one 4/0 power.....also I have one truck with 8 1/0 power and 8 1/0 ground with alum buss bars and I also have a car with the same runs but copper bars.....it really depends on the app but its all about voltage and resestance

Sdime has no runs to the front! I am still building I need a pair of 16 volt alts first

you have a full frame under that truck, if you go to the frame, clean it and bolt them solid they will be fine like that . but im not sure if thats more or less work that just running them to the front.

When is this going to happen.....I have been waiting to see your D13s for over a year now!

Well I bought amps at Christmas ! Wating on the shop to get up and running from the Steve Miller fiasco!

Alan, its just as easy to go to the frame as it is to run all the way to the front.

I think I'm gonna make 3 positve runs and a ground to each battry from the frame.

Another Question.......should I run my grounds for my amps to the battery or the frame?

I've always went from the batteries to the amps.

I have 1 pos and 1 ground from front too back batts.

Id do 2 and 2 if i was you, that rhymes

make grounds from batts to frame and then ground amps to batts

yea thats how i ground mine from the amps to batts i have seen some ppl do amps to frame but i like amp to batt myself

I know thats how we do it Tank, just wanted other opinions my brotha.

yea i know...and thats what i gave you!!! LOL
