i know that much... how about a wiring diagram? i mean i can wire up three batteries and stick it in a single power input on an amp, why is there need for two or three inputs? yes i get for more current transfer and power.

Your are just overthinking it man. Just run the cable to the back and then the appropriate number of runs to the input on the amp.

Wow as if Cartoyz didn't already have a bad reputation, this damn thread sure isn't going to help it anymore.

you answered your own question, it can't draw the current it needs through one run of 1/0.If you don't use both inputs you will also void your warranty.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
