Need Help!!

[v8s10 10+ year member]

wiring up my truck again today, having a HUGE problem... need help QUICK..

i have a crossfire 1000d and a crossfire 150.2 tek..

the 150.2 is 150x2 at 4ohms, and the 1000d is ran at 1 ohm for 1000watts

WHAT GAUGE WIRE.. i ran 4, and ran a t distribution bar to split it up, and then both amps seemed STRAINING.. so now im PISSED.. 2g?? 0/1 g???

someone help me with this wire scheme..

this is what i think so far..

battery, 2 gold terminals with 2 4 g outs and 1 8g out... run 1 4g to the 1000d and then run a 8g to the 150x2... then run the other 4 from the alternator..

does that sound right? or should i go 0 and 4 terminal, run 0 to the back of the truck *(which is only like 10 foot) then split it with a distribution block to 4g and 8g, but i think thats overkill...

someone help me cuz i want to get this in before i have to go back to work tomarrow and cant get back at it till NEXT weekend..

How bout running 2 awg to the back, and a distro block into a 4 awg and a 8 awg? is that an option?

I am running a 1200 watt system right now with no problems. Here is my wiring setup. It might work for you.

4 gauge running from front to rear battery with isolater and circuit breaker under the hood. Also ran 4 gauge off of rear battery to both amps, fused of course. Only ran 8 gauge off of rear batt. to audio control eqx. later

i wuld say run 2 gauge from bat to distro, n 4 gauge for the 1000watt, n 8 gauge for the other one. that's what i m gonna do, n that should be fine.

if u raelly want u can get 0 gauge from bat, but i dont' think it would be necessary, it would also be just more money.
