I have an Exile S1000.1 at running at 500watts RMS and an Exile S400.4 which I will be running at 200watts RMS.

I will be doing the "big 3" wiring in my engine compartment with 1/0 gauge. I have 4 gauge running to my trunk for both power and ground. These go into distribution blocks. From the blocks I have 8 gauge feeding each amp. Now the question I have is do I need to run 1/0 to my trunk and 4 to the amps or am I ok the way I am?

 

From what I see at "Recommended Power and Ground Cable Sizes" I think I am ok but just want to confirm.

 

it seems okay, but 4awg throughout would be ideal

 

Well I figure I will at max be drawing no more than 100amps with both amps and even that is pushing it.

 

Actually just did a bit of math and 75 amps is probably my absolute max draw.

 

bigger the better if you plan on upgrading later on.

 

Yeah but I doubt I will will upgrade and if I do I will worry about wiring then. Thanks!

 

it should be ok. i have the same wiring and theres no problems
