[QUOTE="Lbetts818, post: 8619736, member: 665874"] Wire is rated for amps. For example 1/0 cca is typically rated around 250a or 1/0 ofc is rated around 300a. So for a rough idea to find how many amps your pulling you take your watts and dive by the voltage. So 100x4=400. 400+6000=6400. 6400 divided by 14 volts is 457 amps. So in theory you could get away with two runs each of positive and negative 1/0 front to back. This should not be taken as the best/only way to do it. It’s just a idea for a quick rough way to get in the ballpark [/QUOTE]
