- 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.

Love you guys!!! 🙌🙌🙌😋😋😋. THANKS FOR ALWAYS WATCHING!!!!! :))))))))))
SoundmanCA instead of grommets, use Arlington PVC fittings to go through the floor. Their water sealed and lock down on the wire so it can't be ripped out as well.
Great Video Doug!
SoundmanCA hey Doug my bro,
Would a second yellow top Ultima help with the wattage problem?
mike honda possibly overkill but sounds like solid advice
Kent Also need a big enough current coming from your alternator or all that is in vain 😵
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

Just do 700 runs of 24 gauge aluminum wire and hope for the best. Now that's an episode.
Im pretty sure two runs of 1/0 can handle way more than 1600 watts
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.
I hate the new schedule
Ty Knox rip it
he needs time to polish all that dickwood...video editing takes just soo much time
Plz go back to daily videos
15 mins IS longer
Yea DOOGh ... Do what this man tell you to do! NAW
I expect to see you every day Doug. It doesn't matter what u did
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.
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
seriously, I don't care what the upload schedule is.
I just like watching the audio installs and builds.
thanks for. the vids Doug.
First it was Casey Noseflat, now Douggie... That daily upload life must be soul crushing.
I love it. They say you went too far, so you blow right past it and go even farther!
I couldn't poop yesturday, thanks alot doug. rip it
Feels like a one day video and a day at the beach! Enjoying the build.
So much for getting more work done there Doug.
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
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 "......
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"
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 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.
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!!
Missed ya yesterday, fond of the old 5 day schedule. It matters what you did Doug.
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
sir...
today's WEDNESDAY feels like MONDAY to me......
please bring back the schedual...
Thankyou for putting my suggested song in ur video!!!😊
the 1st one!!!
here is the updated version..

Ahsan Jaffery after Wednesday wait today is Wednesday bring back your regular schedule. Doug
Ahsan Jaffery i
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
We have to wait until Friday ? Unacceptable Doug Everyday we need an episode :)
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
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.
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
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. :)
Good work Doug!
Lol I guys wanted longer videos so he puts 5 minutes of himself on the floor zip tying his wires...Gold
You could get a couple of capacitors before the amps to make up for the need voltage
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!!
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.
Go back to daily uploads still the same shit
Best ep in a little while, hilarious lol
LMFAO the intro was funny af as well as the rest of the video as always good shyt Doug
I love how meticulous you are with your installs
I was dying with that blower comment ... 3am woke up the misses lol she's not happy
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
doug the minority report music is killing me LOL
good episode Doug I really didn't know what to do on my day off yesterday without seeing an episode lol
That apology was fucking golden 😂😂😂😂😂
Always like you videos Doug
hit up steve meade for some of that 8/0
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😎🔊🔊😎
I think I heard my order being made while you were on your back.
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.
You almost lost it describing the slurpy with ice cream in it hahahaha
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.
That's what I did also except I had 2 runs of 2/0 in an loom with shrink tubing on that. 3000w rms.
Lol the "friends" song was perfect, well done.
i miss the daily vlogs ! but you gotta do what you gotta do !
Daily or longer videos. Pick one. :)
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
I just started watching your channel. I must say the shit that comes out of your soup cooler is fucking hilarious.
Doug send me some hurricane supplies.Dieing down here. Your videos keep me going
If that is the stinger 6000 it's rated at 350a @ 20ft.
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?
Man I'm Done...🤣 This is post be about running wire im laughing loud as shit at work!! 🔥💯
Thats a thick remote wire lol
New subscriber, looking forward to seeing more of your work. Great sense of humor by the way..You had me rolling!!!!
Can not wait to see how this turns out,,love the vids doug. Keep up the great work
Doug, just an observation: negative comments seem to get more mention than positive ones. Food for thought...anyhow..LOVE ya work! ;-))
Good contexts! Love ya vids....but question you be looking high what's your favorite strain of kush
Man you need to call Mark back at CAF and have him run your wires. "Ha, Got'em"
I don't know how you thought that the distance between the alternator and under the back seat was 20 feet. That is more like 10-12 feet.
Mikey I was thinking the same thing! Mine are barely 15 foot runs in a 2005 mercedes c320! And I had to snake it alllll around to get to the front battery and alternator!
This
You can see at the end of the video, that there is probably 8 feet of wire coiled up after he pulled it through the floor. Assuming that chart is correct, which I have seen these charts be all over the place with numbers, he would be good for like 2500 watts with the length he ran. Not 1500.
Those charts tend to be pretty conservative too... BUT... that's still not nearly enough wire for a 7k amp.
I missed you yesterday Doug with that being said run that beautiful 0g wire 🔊
5:55 lol, perfect Rafa transition
all the people complaining about the stinger wire. look around when he does videos. all his wire is stinger. he prolly buys directly off a distributor being he owns a shop instead of threw ebay/amazon. thus getting deals.
however i dont agree with that chart at all. it just says wire gauge. it doesnt say for OFC or CCA. it doesnt account for oversized or undersized wire. isnt the general rule of thumb for 0 gauge ofc 300 amps per run for 17ft?
you have plenty enough wire to run that amp
your funny as hell bro
Now we're getting somewhere Doug!!!! Succa will be bassin in no time!!!
Doug maybe you didn’t think about this but your wire operates within that range. So you could get 1600- 3300 watts.
Does CP amps eliminate amperage problems?
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!
Go back to old schedule or make these longer sir please
Booty Eater he did by 2 min
Booty Eater i think the new schedule would've been nice if it had more content like he said. This wasnt more work at all. I thought he was gonna combine 2 days of work so we could see more progress in each video.
Love that Beat Dominator soundtrack. Respect the 90's.
Great stuff, bro..
Beat Dominator!!! F**KIN NICE!!!!!
my 2/0 welding cable that's equal to 1/0 audio wire. 450amps at about 30ft.
Damn now I have to look for something else to watch every Other day while taking a shit
I love this guy!!! :)
That old school feel the beat!!
You got a like lol
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.
Damn Doug, you should use that Friends intro on all the videos.
Great vid like always 👍👍😜
"That could of been a little bit better" also said by Rafas mom this morning to you. Ha!
I dont trust those charts cuz it told me for my setup i can run 4 guage for 2000 watts 15-17 ft run but i have 4gauge in it now and it enough so im swiych to zero all the way threw
New sub here because of the joke you made.
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
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
I'm in awe rn.... U ran it under the truck...
"leaf blower" made me LOL. I'm a bad person
Daily uploads pls and ty....
I love your mexican creeper, was that 1 or 2 ply
Sounds like you have a dry cleaners next door to your shop
That truck needs some milk
