S12X Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 i dont think they make 4/0 wire for car audio uses, that stuff is MASSIVE and the only 4/0 wire ive heard of is welding wire and it is not flexible whatsoever Quote new setup in the works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MegaloManiac Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 what kinda cables are you using? You should use 0awg to the 2nd and 3rd batteries as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI James Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 honestly 4 guage is plenty, if all hes doing is adding to the preexisting stuff there should be no way that 4guage wire added on is hindering him in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
