1/0 gauge wire question?

[Independence83m 10+ year member]

what do you need to split the wire, can i do this without a disturbution block. I mean can i just split the wire, sodder it and tape it up? I need to run 4 guage, an 8 guage, and a 14 gauge wire.

I ran 26 ft today so i got some left over for a ground also.

your car isnt where you want to be cheap at... you will end up on the side of the road looking at a big cloud of smoke talking to a fireman telling yourself you should have spent the extra $10 on a distro block

i'm not totally sure its 1/0 guage it could be 0 guage. how can you tell the difference?

and on the distribution block, can i buy a 4 output and only use just 2?

edit:and what about my remote wire how do you all think i should run that? I have 2 amps and crossover.

1/0 and 0 ga are the same thing. But theres no point to have two distro blocks really...and your remote wire you can just daisy chain off of each other. What kind of crossover do you have that needs power? You running active?

Kicker x2i, and what does active mean?(it does say active though)

Edit: i think i figured it out, is it where you can tune it to what you want?

1/0 is the same as 0 gauge

yes you can use just 2 outputs on a 4 output distro

run your remote from your radio to one amp then from that amp to the other one you dont want it running out of the distro your amps wont shut off and your battery will die

you can plug your 8 gauge into the slots on the 4 gauge distro like he said no use in running 2 distro blocks
