Connecting batteries, how many runs?

Ok, I have two d3100's on the drivers side of my truck and 1 on the passenger. I am going to run 1/0 from the passenger batt to the buss bars on the drivers side batts. How many runs would be ideal, would one be enough or should I do two?

The run would only be about 3 feet in length...here is a pic of the setup:

I have a similar setup and I did 2...But I like overkill.

I'm sure 1 run would be fine

Going to be running an AB 500.1 at .5 and a kicker 550.2 maybe I will do two just for overkill as well. It will be easier to do two now than have to pull stuff apart to get back at the batts to add another one I guess.

yea never hurt to do extra i guess might help you and your right wont have to worry bout pulling it all out again

how many runs from front batt to the bak batt

I have two positive and two negative runs going from the front to the back batts

I would say one run is fine since its a pretty short distance, but if you already have the extra wire than two wouldn't hurt.

Thanks for the replies, will just go ahead and do two runs. Its only about 12 more ft of wire.
