[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8284969, member: 658055"] Use Knukonceptz brand power wire. Run 4 gauge OFC from the battery to a distro block in the back ($1.55/ft). Fuse this run near the battery with anything from 115-150A. Also use the same gauge and material for the ground and bolt it down in a good spot. It sounds like the distro block should be fused at 115A. From there you can run 4 gauge KCA/CCA ($0.95/ft) to the PPI and 8 gauge KCA/CCA ($0.47/ft) to the Belva if you want the lowest price wire you can get from Knu, though you could also use your old 4 gauge for both from from the distro, since you have it on hand. Alternatively, use 0 gauge OFC from the front to the back for ultimate futureproofing. It's $4/ft and it's definitely overkill, but some people here would recommend that since you'll never have to redo it for larger amps. [/QUOTE]
