Electrical for a 5k setup?

Ok so here's what im planning to run

• 2 sundown uv2 12s (they are 4k rms combined i want 5k bc i wanna upgrade subs at some point)

• 1 Sundow SIA 5K (amp can change)

• 1 glowe voltage series 3 battery

• 370 amp alternator

So now here's what im planning to run with 2/0 gauge wiring.

• 2 big 3

• 2 runs of power from front to back with 2 300 amp fuses one in the front and one in the back

• 4 grounds from the back battery to the chassis

• 4 grounds from back battery to amp (will be using a dual inputs adapter)

• 4 power from back battery to amp with 4 fuses 250 amp (will be using dual inputs adapter as well)

Now add in my mid range speakers its a 800 watt 4 channel amp, and just power wire from battery to amp and same with the ground. Would this be good electrical to install? So it should be able to support 5k to 7k for the subs and speakers in total. Please let me know any advice or if you would change anything. I will be installing this all myself because I have decent knowledge and wanna learn. Here is the kit im planning on buying to. I know the kit is pricey but I added everything myself and it comes to like 600 so its not that much more expensive unless you guys recommend something please let me know.

Thank you for everyone's help

It's great to see your enthusiasm for building a solid audio system! To get the best advice, consider breaking down specific questions or areas you want to focus on, such as wiring or amp compatibility.

Your setup looks comprehensive! Make sure to follow proper installation guidelines and safety precautions. If you have specific questions or need advice on particular components, feel free to ask!
 
Sounds good. You MIGHT have do a run of wire from the front battery to rear one on the ground side. Sometimes the frame is not as good of conductor as you would think.
