biggest that the amps can accommodate think it's bout 2 to 4 guage

i think the 1500 people said can handle a 1/0 and the other i guess a 4guage would work right

or 1/0 ga to the 1500 then 4 gauge to others

i think thats the best way to go 1 guage to the 1500 and the other 2 4 gage

i got 1/0 from batt up front to batt in the back then 4 gauge to the memphis 1100 d and 8 to my mids and high amp but that is only because the wire is less than a foot from the batt to the amps maybe a foot so it just depends on how far you are going but i would def run 1/0 gauge to batt to atleast the distro block!

To have maximum efficiency I'd say you would need atleast two runs of 1/0 from the front to the back, unless you have a back battery. Then I would use 1 run of 1/0 as a charging wire for the second battery and from the back battery I would run whatever size wire the manual asks for from there.
