JBL BP600.1 (57 amps)
JBL BP1200.1 (114 amps)

So it's actually ~200 amps if you don't round up. But I'm still debating how to proceed; I should slap in 1/0 guage (is it 1 or 0 ??)...Thanks for the help though guys

I think it goes 1 gauge then 0 gauge and then 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4. The latter being about the size of wire that holds the Millenium dome together. It's probably like running a boa constrictor under your carpet...

actually 0 and 1/0 is the same. a better way of showing the relation is 0, 00, 000, 0000 after that you get into KCmils... 250, 300, 350, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000 (I've actually seen 2000 MCM aluminum cable, HUGE!!!!! and I've used 1250 copper)
