[QUOTE="tRiGgEr, post: 1668953, member: 552295"] Ok you realistically need two runs of 1/0 gauge power wire and ground wire. On a true 5000 watts, you don't want to restrict current by having a single 1/0 gauge wire. Now you say your car dies when you turn the stereo up? Have you measured the voltage while this happens? At what level does it drop to? And last but not least, I would recommend a second or third:) deep cycle battery in the rear of the vehicle first.
