problem with mul;tiple runs of 1/0?

[cha0 10+ year member]

so im working on the 9918Z install and im about to order all the wiring. at first im going to get this set up for daily with 1 Z1a and 2 kinetik 2400s but eventually (end of the year) i want to collect everything to compete with (a second z1a and more 2400s).

is there any problem with just putting all the runs of 1/0G wire into to begin with and have it all hooked up with just the 1 z1a? i was thinking 3 runs of 1/0 for the daily and 6 runs when i get the second z1a. any problem with just running all 6 lengths and hooking em up to the buss bar at the 2400s?

sorry for the newb question, just want to make sure there should not be any underlying problems. thanks.

nope. as long as they are hooked up and not just laying back there you'll be good.

Should be fine.

FYI, you don't need that much wire if you are only running 1 alt and one battery up front, IMO.

tommy, how many runs for 1 bat up front (kin) and a 240ish amp alt?

2 runs of each should suffice, especially with having a battery bank in the rear.

I mean, you could do more, but I don't think you will benefit from it.
