[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8652076, member: 611804"] It's not about how many are equal. In most cases 2 4awg cables can carry the same amperage as 1 1/0awg cable This is a blurred line with oversized audio wire but similar none the less. At any rate 1/0 is typically fused 300-350amps for 20ft if your 3 or 4 or however many 4awg wires combine to a larger amperage draw than that you need bigger wire. In my case I have 1 1/0 feeding 4 4awg but 2 are fused at 80amps, 1 at 50, and 1 at 30amps. Total I'm fused for 240amps which is below my 300amp main fuse. I still have room to up my 30amp fuse to 90amp if I need more juice for my relay board [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2PGWexC.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
