no 0 gauge left over for big 3, would dual 4 gauge work?

you live in ohio; find an Andersons and grab some audiopipe zero. it's cheap, especially when they ring it up as 8ga.

Save yourself the trouble, do it right and buy a little more 0ga.

well i already crimped them together.

the 0 gauge has 4704 strands. the 4 gauge has 1862 strands. so the dual 4 gauge runs have a total of about ~3700. 1000 strands less than 0 gauge.

2x4ga is equal to 1ga by definition.

are you running the alternator + to the battery + with this? the original post says you are, but you ran the battery - to chassis with 0/1. i would use the 0/1 for the alt + to batt + so you only need 1 fuse.

you said you already crimped so hopefully you're just using ring terminals or something and can swap this around. doesn't sound like you've fused the + to + wire at all atm unless you threw it through the main fusebox which would be silly for an aftermarket alt.
