How many 4gauge wires do it take to make 1/0 gauge wire i was thinking 3 4gauge wires would work what do you guys think.

thanks dude that helped out real good and for what i see 3 4awg wires are way more then 1/0 gauge wire.

So what is the answer without me having to look it up?

From the measurement of the website that I just looked at 3 4gauge wires have more wire strands than one 0gauge wire.

Were you planning on doing multiple runs of 4 gauge for something?

Technically it's 2.52.

2x4awg is 1awg.

i did 3 runs of 4gauge from the alt to the battery + the stock wire and its doing much better then the 1/0 gauge wire and the stock wire.

Why didn't you just add a second run of 0 gauge since it was already there?

thats the next thing im going to test on it if it will fit i just was not thinking at the time when i had the 1/0 on the car.

why not just run 1/0 and be done with it?

i have had the 1/0 wire on my car and just tryed the 3 4gauge wire and got alot more out of my car.1/0 gauge wire 330

3 4gauge wire 393 + stock 8gauge =445.

This big 3 wiring setup has turned out to be //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif awsome //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I jumped 2 dbs on the termlab with the setup. I was doing a 148.0 without the big 3 now with the big 3 it is 150.2.

0 gauge is 330.

1/0 is bigger. Doesnt seem cost efficient to run 3 or 4 runs of 4 gauge.

thanks for the correction i mean 0 is 330 and for me the 3 runs of 4gauge and my stock 8gauge worked out better then the 1/0 and 4gauge is what i had so i used it just more runs of it.
