Jocur Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 OK heres whats up. i have a 140 amp alternator and a deep cycle optima red top battery powering my blazer ATM. and a 2 gauge wire run to the back for my existing system, but now i am upgrading and was wondering if 2 gauge would work to connect another battery and then 1/0 wire to the amp. or do i have to upgrade the 2 gauge wire running to the back to 1/0 wire to? all i really want to know is the most cost efficient way to get 2 batteries connected and ran to the amp and the amp ran to the subs. i also have a 2fd capacitor for it. its a RF T2001. and what kind of wire do i need to run from the amp to the subs, i have 2 FiBL D1, and i was wondering if i actually needed anything else. just ask if any more information is needed.
