Battery & Wiring help

[jagblazer01 10+ year member]

So im upgrading the stereo again and I will be running 4 2400s in the rear of my truck. I have 2 runs of 1/0 going back there now and dont really want to do 2 more runs. Will I be ok with just 2 runs back or should I do 2 more?

Second part of question lol....I have an 1800 under the hood. Should I isolate the rear batteries or no? If so, would I use 2 isolators (1 for each 1/0 run) or just run both hot wires to 1 isolator?

Or if anyone can point me in a better direction that would be a plus as well.

I'm guessing 2400's are batteries?

What amps are you running?

And as for isolation of your batteries, I don't think ti's necessary. But if you do it, do two isolators. Don't cheap out on important stuff.

Yeah, 2 runs of 0/1 AWG will have the ability of running upwards of 600 amps. W = (V*A) = W = (12*600)

W= 7200 Watts.

That's if you have a 12v system. But you probably have a 14 or 16 volt current. So, your system can hold more. It's all depends on your alt at this point.
