so i have 20 feet of 4 gauge and 20 feel of 0 gauge i need to do the big 3 and hook up my amp and im confused on what i should do. should i use the 4 gauge for the amp or for the big 3? im planning on running a brz 1700d it takes 160 anl would the 4 guage be okay for it?

if it was my vehicle..id do the big 3 in the 0 gauge and use the 4 gauge for the wire..that way further down the road youre not redoing your big 3..thats just me tho

yeah do big 3 with 0 gauge and run the 4 gauge to your amp. Then use the rest of your 0 gauge for ground from your amp. If ur amp has 0 gauge inputs. Thats what i would do.

it has 2 gauge inputs if i read correctly lol so its inbetween both of them

Sell your 4 gauge and buy 2 gauge wire for your amp and use 0 gauge for big 3 done deal

I would run the 0 to the amp + and -

Use whatever 0 you have left for whatever part of the big 3 it fits best.

Then use double runs of 4 to complete the rest or the big three.

BTW I've got the same amp.

yeah what mario said would be the best solution lol

well ill never be upgrading the alt on this car so i should be okay with any wire for the big 3. would the amp be okay on the 4 guage? its the flat kind so it would be a hella lot easier to run.
