pa-pa-platypus Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 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 Quote This isn't teeball.

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 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.

TheBetterMethod Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 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.

new guy Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) 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.
