run everything to buss bars and go from there....
I'll be running 2500w to a single sub myself along with 600w to the front stage...on a single run of 1/0...you'll be fine with that. If you're that worried, run 2/0, which is still fairly cheap at Princess Auto. I actually wired a friend's car with it this past weekend and it is QUITE flexible. Good luck. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now,is that one run + and one run - ??

Or is that 2 runs of each?if this is the case wouldnt it be more cost effective to run the 3/0?

Just looking for clarity... [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

1 power and 1 negative, it will do fine. Unless you can get bigger cable for a better deal.
