2 runs of 4ga or 1 run of 1/0

[bassrace]

I ran two runs of 4 gauge stinger hpm for a while, it worked great. However I did not drop as low(voltage wise) when I got a run of 1/0 instead of the 4. I have dual 4 gauge inputs on my amp.

2 4ga is smaller than 1 1/0

well i was thinking dual input 4ga wire so 2 runs of 4ga to dual inputs on a aq1200.1D cause with KNU you gotta shave 1/0 so flipping much to fit it in the aq1200.1d

i like it shaved

on a 1/0 to 4ga reducer?

anyone think so?

i like em shaved to.

If you go by how people rate wire size when you double runs below 1/0 .

U subtract 3 from the wire size for each identical run.

Two runs of 4 gauge = 4 - 3 = 1 gauge

That is technically smaller than 0/1 car audio wire.

Car audio 0/1 is like welding wire 2/0 and is more than 1/0.

Or that's what I've been reading and done some handson research myself.

0 Gauge to a D-Block with multiple 4 ( or 8 ) gauge outs, Thats how most of my lower power setups go. Good for adding accessories in the future too.

AWG is AWG no matter what it's used for. Also, don't forget to check what material it is made of. Two reasons to only deal with reputable companies.

1/0 awg = 53.5 mm^2 cross section.

4awg= 21.1 mm^2 cross section.

So you're right the 1/0 would have more current handling capacity.

i didnt mean it like that, i meant the way they rate the wire size and all.

car audio rated 0/1 is comparable to 2/0 welding size.

Same material, same cross sectional area, same current handling , same shit. My 1/0 welding cable is the same as my 1/0 car audio cable.

Yall are getting away from what he ask... Do the one run. Shave a little off its not that bad
