so... i have a 250amp mechman alt, big 3 in 1/0, one run of 1/0 + from the stock batt up front to a yellowtop and batcap 800 in the back, both trunk batts grounded to chassis. one + 1/0 wire from yellowtop to distro block, three 4awg going out of that, two of those go to my sub amp, one goes to 4 channel. same thing with the - run.
im still getting enough voltage drop to turn my sub amp off. im thinking maybe its at my distro block. i can put another 1/0 into the block but if i do that do i need to run another + from front to back? or can i just add a + and - from the yellowtop to the distros? or do you think i would just get a better result from running a ground from front to back?
running close to 3k watts. i think i have enough wire for another run but i would rather not because i would have to drill a hole in the firewall. but i will do it if i must.
