3000 watts RMS 1/0 gauge how many runs

[benzmansl65amg 10+ year member]

Ok I want to know is it okay if i have a RedTop under the hood and a HC2400 if it was okay to do one run 1/0 gauge to the Kinetik in the back and feed my two NINe.1's and my one NINe.2x off of that battery with two runs from that battery to a distro block then runs to my amps of 4 gauge.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

A friend of mine did 6 runs of 1/0 from front to back battery and noticed NO gain compared to when he had 1 run. Stick with 1

yea just try one and if there is voltage drops still after you get a new alt then think about doing two but Im pretty sure youd be set on one

Besides a tenth, maybe 2, on a volt meter - what did he expect?

1 run will do just fine

Yeah, I've been running a stock 90A alt for years with 2000+W RMS systems, had no probs, little voltage drop, almost no dimming.

no its not. i have a stock alt and 2 kinetik batteries are 5000 rms. voltage is very good. 12.2v is the lowest i do on a song.

do 2 runs of 1/0. one run going from pos to pos and another run going from neg to neg.
