With the power you'll be running Aaron, I'd do the 3/0 or a couple runs of 1/0.
I can tell you, with the single amp alone, a single run of 1/0 still sees a significant voltage drop. If you upgrade to two amps, it's a lost cause. Might as well go overkill on some of the cheaper equipment in the car right?
Keep in touch with me, I might be buying a large roll of 3/0 that you can buy into... won't be very much more than 1/0 anyways.
(BTW 3/0 carries roughly 35-40% more current than 1/0)
Edit : Andy.

Really I would like to know.
Hopefully it's only 35-45% more expensive then 1/0.
I like to see 3/0 at less then 2.00$/ft.

Well...I settled it with a happy medium between both 1/0 families and the 3/0 families....
I bought 2/0!!
Should be in on Monday!!
Now to just get my amp and we can get started on at least powering up things!!
But yeah...the 1000 MCM would be cool!
