how many feet of 1/0 gauge

[jchancellortool 10+ year member]

I have a 1998 Grand Prix and I need to know how much 1/0 gauge I should order to run from under the hood back to the trunk. I will also need some to do the big three. I am going to order it form weldingsupply.com and I need to know how many feet. I saw that the Stinger amp kit comes with 18 ft for the power and like 4 for the ground. I'm assuming this is not enough to do the big 3 also. I don't want to end up short. Thanks guys

you should be safe with around 30 feet.

30should be PLENTY for power and ground.

****, 30 feet is long. 18 feet was perfectly fine for my honda civic coupe...but then, i have no idea how long grand pri's are

somewhere in the mid 20's. or try measuring...twice and add couple feet on top of that

I think i'll go ahead and order 23 ft of the blue for power and like 5 feet for the ground. I have another question. What gauge of speaker wire should I use if each of my subs will be getting about 1200 watts? I have alot of 12 gauge. Is that big enough

Yea, 12 will be fine. You could use lower actually. I have tons of 12 too so I use it alot.
