1/0 gauge safe to run inside?

[Bill T. 10+ year member]

Going to be powering 2 amps (JL 300/4 and JL 1000/1). I want to upgrade to 1/0 power wire and was wondering is it even safe to run it inside.

Also, I have a 3/4" grommet for the 4awg in the car now. Where can I buy a bigger grommet, say 1"?

Thanks all,

Bill T.

Yes it is safe. If it wasn't I would have found out a long time ago. As for the grommet check with a local audio store or look online.

ALWAYS run inside. as long as it's insulated, you're straight. not worth exposing your wires to salt and rode grime and crap like that

I'm trying to figure out why it wouldn't be safe to run it inside... and I'm coming up with nothing.

Already done. Pulled out my 4awg ANL fuse and went with Stinger 1/0awg and a RF circuit breaker.

It was a bit tricky. Some of the panels internals had to be removed. Easy feat and you cant even tell the wire is there.
