New system wire help

[myjaja 10+ year member]

Ive been playing around with new systems lately, but now Im just gonna settle down for one final big system in my 96 honda accord. Im roughly gonna have a good 6000 watts rms. How many runs of 0 guage would I need? I was thinking 2 runs of 0 guage for my positive and 2 turns for my ground to the rear battery. Would I still need to ground the rear battery to the chassis with the runs of ground to the back if I do that way? Would running 0 guage for my ground make a difference over the chassis? I heard somewhere the chassis ground is comparable to a good 4 guage wire? Also, what type of 0 guage do you recommend?

So itll be a 270 amp ho alt and 2 good kinetik hc2000 batteries in the back with two 0 guage wires for positive and two 0 guage wires for ground. Sound good for 6000 watts rms?

thanks

3 or 4 of each would be better and yes ground the back battery too

^^^ agree... 2 runs of positive and neg. would be pushing the wires abilities, and a chassis ground wont really compare with 3-4 runs of your wire. There are alot of people on here who like the Knu wires, I personally like kicker's hyperflex wire, but I think I might get some criticism on that.
