Clownrock95 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just some quick googling 2 true spec ofc 4ga runs could handle 140 amp but 1 1/0 run would handle 150 amp so if you have 1 4 GA and what to upgrade I would buy another run of 4 GA if you already have 1 run of 1/0 or 2 runs of 4 I would say stay where your at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 My SHCA 1/0 OFC is rated for 350A at 20ft. I think whatever you saw on Google is for welding wire or something. Even 1/0 CCA is ~250A at 20ft SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 The cost of 4awg is close to what 1/0 can cost so your better off to run 1/0 right now, and you'll know your good with your setup for now and possibly in the future as well. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esgedi Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yes, you'll see more voltage drop over the same length. The cross sectional area of 1/0 is 113mm^2, where 4ga is 50mm^2. Don't trust a shop but you personally just smoked two decks, makes sense. 03' Trailblazer LTDayton Designer 6.5"s & Silkie tweetersDayton Audio Ultimax 18"Pioneer 9601 & 8604XS Power D34002 runs 1/0Singer 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Two runs of 4ga would carry the same current as one run of 1/0. Doing two runs of 4ga would end up costing you more money.
