Can't help but wonder.....
If you have need for so many wire runs, would you not need an extra battery or six in the back by the amps???
Voltage drop through a wire is proportional to the current being drawn.
If you're drawing so much current, that you're worried about the drop in a single 1/0 run, then I doubt that a single battery could keep up.

But very nice work.....just need a nice lexan cover now to protect 'em from welding.

Some people just dont understand. The purpose of all the wire is because you are not allowed to have more then 1 battery in this class. That is why you are trying to get every bit of potential from the 1 you have.
Every SPLer will tell you that the more the better. Some guys have seen a full dB increase from adding as many as 64 total runs of 0 gauge wire from 12 runs. Im not kidding either. So obviously a single 0 gauge wire isnt even gonna touch the surface of providing your amps with a useful amount of current. Now with amps getting even stronger it is of absolute importance to over build your electrical system, if you want to be successful in SPL.
