[QUOTE="2023 LTZ, post: 8842586, member: 686684"] First, pony up the dough for regular copper not the tinned. Second, avoid the mistake I’ve made in sizing the supply. Based on what your two amps require as supply wires you may want to go bigger for the main run back. My misjudgment came from running 0ga back to be split by two 4ga supplying my two amps. Sure, theoretically they’ll never be pulling max to both at the same time but to use the plumbing reference I should have a bigger mainline. I have not blown my undersized main fuse and you may have no trouble supplying your two amps but consider what’s coming off of the splitter and size the main run accordingly, with ofc. Amazon has a decent price for wire by the ft in many sizes through “windynation”. An American company who makes the wire in Chicago. They have all kinds of connectors too under the same brand name. To avoid your bottleneck, size accordingly. [/QUOTE]
