tomas, i was planning on getting the split charge wiring system that uses 4awg and a 60 amp fuse to charge the battery in the boot, then run the 2awg with the 200amp fuse from the optima in the boot to the amp, and 2awg from amp to ground. Is this right? If i need more help I'll U2U you! | |

Well i have an optima in the boot and a exide turbo diesel battery upfront, so that could help? | |

On mine we found that the starter motor is still turning as the alt kicks in so wired it somwhere else. Strage how it dosent blow the fuse if its pulling through it because as you know the starter motor needs a LOT of current!:boggle: | |

quote: No it used to be £189.99, the strike is thru the centre of the eight :) Tomas, my starter motor uses the yellow top on many occasions and it has never blown the 60amp fuse in the holder. I dont have a problem there :| If you were to wire the relay to the alternator it is as you say, basically the alternator has its own 'remote' wire if you want to call it. Tap into that with the live switched input on the relay, and the battery will charge when the engine is on, and become disconnected from the standard electrical system when the engine is shut off. | |

I did this a couple of years ago, you dont need 2gauge between the two batteries or a 200A fuse if you have wired the relay correctly. The altenator only puts out approx 70A peak on the best corsa altenators, so you need a cable that is capable of a 70A current so 4 guage is ok. | |

im just interested in getting it all up and running first. I think im just gonna stick the subs in 2 boxes until i have saved up for all the sound deadening stuff. I dont wanna do a permanent install now only to have to take it out to sound deaden it. How much £ do u reckon it would cost just to cover the underneath of the boot and the sides in somethehing like dynamat extreme? | |
