will77530 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 4 guage will work make sure its fused properly 1/0 is ideal though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agreene Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 id run 0 or 1/0 gauge just in case your going to upgrade in the future but 4 gauge is enough from the xs power to the amps yes so rune 0 gauge to the back then 4 gauge off battery to amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afficionado Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 just do the 0 gauge now. you will want to upgrade sooner than later. If you have any questions relating to nutrition, lifting, or health in general, feel free to give me a PM and I will give you straight forward advice with no BS involved.

iROCKtheFOSgate Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 well i had bought two 4 awg kits from rockford .. one kit was for the amps to hook up to the rear xs power battery and the other kit i was gonna use to run from front battery to rear .. so i was kinda wondering if i had to spend more cash on a 0-1/0 kit ... im not gonna put in any relays or what so ever .. just gonna hook them up pos to pos .. ..... and if i do run the 4 awg wire from front to rear will it be good enough that my rear battery will charge correctly .... i have stock alternator btw [sharedmedia=garage:vehicles:2273] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreene Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 150 amp fuse is enough and you dont need to runs of 4 gauge. just run the 4 gauge to the battery and then a short 4 gauge run from rear battery to the amp and the amp then ground the amp to the battery and ground the battery to the grame of your car and with the left over 4 gauge upgrade the "big 3" wiring which is the wire from your alternator to front power and the grounds... all 4 gauge is great for what you have. you would just need to upgrade agian if you went bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanSierra Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Im running the same two amps in my truck. Im running good 1/0 gauge to a distribution block that accepts 1/0 in and has 2-4 gauge out. The runs off 4 gauge are about 18" and are Knu OFC so high stand count. I've got a fused distribution block with 150 to the sub amp and a 100 amp fuse to the T400-4. Under the hood on the 1/0 gauge I've got a 250 Amp fuse. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
