[QUOTE="Dafaseles, post: 8783217, member: 681482"] Me personally, I would ditch the AGM and put a Cyber 12k in the back and just run the whole car and audio system off of that (if you're married to the cyber series battery and not wanting an LTO bank). Building your own bank can be cheaper as well. You also have to know what your alternator is putting out at idol. If you want to compete, you're car is going to be at idol, so the more amperage to combat the voltage dropping, the better. Is that a Smart Bass 5k? If it's not, I would reconsider. Their not super expensive and they deliver tons of power. They except 2/0 gauge wire into their inputs and for grounding. From the alternator, I would do 2 runs of 1/0, though probably overkill. Most 1/0 car audio wire is rated at 350 amps, so on that 270, 1 run of good OFC would do fine. [/QUOTE]
