[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8863663, member: 674149"] If I had to run 3 runs, I would just run 3 runs. You certainly won't save any money after buying two distribution blocks and larger wire. I would just measure out what I need, and triple that for a roll, with a little excess. Probably in a 50ft roll if you can get 3 out of that. 3 runs of 1/0 awg for a 3000w amp is definitely overkill. I see what they are saying on their page: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.orioncaraudio.com/hcca-splx-competition-amplifiers/768-hcca30001dsplx.html[/URL] 3000w / .88% efficient = 3409w 3409w / 12v = 284 amps. With the length from battery to amp, I would want something just bigger if it was ONE 1/0awg cable. Two cables would be more than enough. I'm also running their midlevel amp, and that makes more than rated. This is their top amp, and I remember seeing this one dynoed. I knew it did well over rated. [MEDIA=youtube]vdaoMOeQ-PY[/MEDIA] & big D [MEDIA=youtube]r5mhOIlniSA[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]AXes8Gncn1w[/MEDIA] That amp will do over 5K watts @ 1ohm @ 1%Thd If I was running that, I would probably put all 3 in their for the hell of it. What are you powering with that? [/QUOTE]
