how about if i use 0 gauge from the amp to my back batt then do a run of 4 gauge to the front??

meh

get some two gauge if you cant get 0

if you cant get either then dont worry about. just be wise about how you play

because i already used up the 20ft of 0 gauge i had in the other car for the btl. this is gonna be for 2 12 type r's. and the car has a stock 140 amp alt i think. not sure if that affects this question much

Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal?

heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked.

i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat

more current will flow to the amp from the battery, but the alt wont be able to charge the battery as fast as the amp is draining it. plus you will more than likely burn the fuck out of the 4 gauge. use 0 gauge. you wont regret it later on.

i cant believe nobody has asked this yet:

how long is the run?

if the run is from the front battery to the amp, then you need to use 1/0

if the run is within 3 feet of the battery, you should still use 1/0 but could probably get away with 4 (if you had some laying around already)

i have some left over 1/0 that i could use. its the thing is i already did the run and it would be a bitch to rewire it lol
