Power Wire?


Recommended Posts

Im going to be runnin a 3000 watt rms amp and a 4-channel amp.  the manual says the 3000 watt amp draws 160 amps and the 4 channel says 40amps.  so if this info is correct the system would draw  about 200 amps.  Right now i have a red top top up front and a 140 amp stock alt.  im going to be droppin in 2 cheapo batteries in the rear until i can get the money for my kenetik's.  I also plan on upgrading the alternator to an iraggi amputator 200 amps (175amps at idle) but wont be able to for a few months.  I was originally going to run 2 runs of 0 guage.  right now i can get a extremely good deal on 2 or 4 guage wire from a local shop.  i plan on upgrading the subs and amp later to more power but for now would multiple runs of 2 or 4 guage work with the current set up and stock alt? and if so how many runs would i need?

I think a single run of 1/0 gauge would suffice.  I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.  :^
