0 gauge wire run by ecu ok?

[onosqv]

Is it ok to run a 0 gauge wire on the passenger side next to the ecu? Or will that cause interference or something?

Thanks!

i dont think you would have a problem. dont run RCAs down that same side though, or else you will get lots of noise.

Ah yes, no rca's near power wires. Ok, cool - just wanted to make sure that situation didn't apply to ecu.

Thanks!

my rca wire runs right next to the power wire and i have yet to have any noise issues tho

My RCA is next to the power wire from under the back seat into the trunk to the amp, and I never get any noise either. I think if you use high quality RCA cable you won't have that issue.

Plain and simple, you won't have a problem

sometimes you do, sometimes you dont. maybe you do and you dont notice it. it depends on a lot of things (proximity, quality of RCAs, size of wire etc, surroundings etc). but as a rule of thumb i never run RCAs down the same side of the car I run the power wire.

Use shielded cable....no problems no matter what you run it by.

true, but nowadays you can easily spend over $100 just for a good set of RCAs. most people dont really have $100 to drop on a cable, so this way is more practical. but if you can afford the good stuff, by all means thats the way to go.

OR, for the same price as buying pre-made, go to a local electronics/electrical house and get the cable, connectors, and a tool to do it and make your own for like 1/10 the price.

ah, the joys of DIY. i have ~500ft of Cat5e sitting in my garage, once i buy some connectors i can start making big ethernet cables. and the best part is i got the spool for free
