well 2 ga is good but the 1 i was talking about is 0 ga https://www.ebay.com/itm/Battery-Cable-Pure-Copper-Power-Wire-1-0-or-2-0-Gauge-AWG-Made-in-USA-SAE-J1127/302318840814?hash=item46639b6bee:m:mo00vkt4uNr6P4dSHFmiA8A

and to amp 2 ga is great size for all of it.. or u can do 0 to amp or 0 and 4 but lot of peeps use 2 for all.. i think it says it's good for 350 amps up to 50ft if so thats like 5k rms..

I think I'll go 2 gauge all around. Just so I'm clear is 2 gauge smaller than 0 gauge??

yeah but like twice size of 4 ga.. look around for it boomintahoe uses it he has 2 2500 amps.. if u can't get it cheaper than the 0 ga get that (0ga can be pain to run to amp, some run it under car with garden hose to protect it)

make sure it says ofc or oxygen free not just awg.. maybe easier to find the 0ga like i showed u..

If you're getting a CAB... IDK why you'd use less than 0ga wire... the amp has 0ga power/ground inputs, the charging wire from alt to battery could be smaller (4ga) with a factory alt.

But the rest of the big 3 should stay 0ga

This'll let you do it once and correctly... if you upgrade your alt someday, all you'll need is to change the charge wire to sufficient guage.

And a 4ga charge wire is capable of supporting a pretty good sized alt anyways

Op... do it once and do it right, its not something you'll wanna redo.
