How do you put 2 1/0 cables in 1 1/0 input?

I am planning on doing 2 runs of power and 2 runs of ground. The amp only has 1 1/0 input for power and 1 for ground?

Use a couple of these:

You can find them on ebay under 'distribution blocks'

Although I would get a different one than that pic cause I have those and the covers don't like to stay on. But there are others...

For the single wire from the amp to the distro, make sure its the highest quality wire you can get so it won't be a bottleneck.

Sweet that is exactly what I was thinking. Run the 2 1/0 cables to the block. I will put the block as close as possible to the amp input and run maybe a 3-4" piece of kolossus fleks. surely a 4" piece of kolossus fleks can handle about 390 amps.

These are the other ones that I've used. The covers snap on much better than the stingers did.

390a for short periods of time. After some time playing bass at full tilt, I would check the wire to make sure its not getting too warm. You should be fine though.

I think the amp draws around 390 amps at .5 ohm. It don't see 390 on music does it. I am sure they mean 390 max.

Most people that run that much power have batteries in the back which they use as distro's.

Yeah,but my batteries will be about 3 feet away. I am trying to stay at 14.4 at full tilt constantly.
