[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8167733, member: 655960"] Stinger makes good distro blocks but frankly, all we're talking about is a hunk of brass with holes bored in it. For audio systems, you need ~55Ah of battery for every 1Kw of power. So for 2500 watts, ~140Ah. And no, wiring isn't correct. You need 1/0 to the amp location, which can branch at a distribution block or battery and be sent on 1/0 to the sub amp and on 4 gauge to the small amp. Speakers can be wired with 16 gauge but I recommend 12 gauge on the subs and since there's not a huge cost difference, it's just as easy to buy a spool of 12 gauge so you know you'll have plenty of wire. If you'll get some measurements of your runs, I'll build you an amp kit with enough 1/0, 4 gauge and speaker wire to get you going... with ring terminals preinstalled. [/QUOTE]
