[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 1005643, member: 556589"] I would fuse the 1/0awg with 200-350A.. 150 is a little smallish. You can get a fused distro block, which will fuse the outputs for you. the grounds should be the same size as the amplifiers input power. In this case since your splitting the 1/0awg to 4awgs, the ground should be 4awg. just ground to a CLEAN bare piece of metal near the amp Fuse just under the suggested carrying capacity of the wire. 4awg is rated to just over 150A so 100-150A would be safe. 1/0awg is rated just over 350A so 200-350A would be good.
