Wiring question


Recommended Posts

I know its been discussed but wanted to ask again for clarity. Can someone tell me if it would be better to run 2 4awg wires or 1 0awg wire for an Alpine MRV-F540 and Rockford Fosgate 1000bd(old skool). I will not be upgrading anymore in the future as this is going into a convertible mustang with limited space. Any advice is appreciated.

1 1/0 is thicker than 2 4ga. just run the 1/0 from the front battery, and use a distribution block 2 make it 2 4 ga. and basically do the same with the ground (1/0 off chassis, splits into 2 4ga grounds).

Would this application even call for a 0awg?

not really, but with 2 amps that require 4 ga, using one 2ga or 1/0 run would be easier to keep organized.

For this application, what would be the best battery upgrade option? Oddyssey, Kinetik, Optima??

just find out whichever one fits into your stock battery location. you can read what battery group your stock battery is in then see if xs or kinetik or whoever has a battery in the same group. if not then take the dimensions and see which battery would fit in its place
