What dist. Block is (1)1/0 in and (2)1/0 out?

as title states I need to split my power wire from 1 run of 1/0 gauge to 2.

Doing 2 full runs would probably be the better idea. The main purpose of a distribution block is to take a bigger power wire to supply enough current for two or more amps and reduce to many smaller wires, not to branch the wire off.

i was afraid you were going to say that. I had it jerry rigged before, I had a big clamp that could screw down and hold the 3 wires together and it worked fine, but I threw it away. I also need to get some in line fuses for them, they weren't fused before.

Looks like Ill have to make some shitt up for right now till I get some extra money for anouther run of 1/0 gauge.

I found one.... here is the link. Link//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I still would need to buy in-line fuse holders. Would I get less voltage drop if I ran 2 runs? or would it be the same?

I'd like one that doesn't T. I was thinking I could save on a fuseholder if I had the fuse before the split. Then the 2 runs to the amp. Make sense? The T would need more room for the wire to bend out of it.

yea, I think I'm going to order one tonight and use it for right now. I get my sub in on Thursday so I have to get my amp rack done and figure something out for the wiring soon,

i dont see anything in your sig that needs that much wire

:eyebrow:I will have over 2000 RMS going, each amp takes a 1/0 gauge, Those amps are conservatively rated from what I hear.

I have ran the 1501D @ 2ohms, and the 942 @ 4ohms before and very little voltage drop I would idol @ about 14.1-2 and I have never seen it at full tilt go under 13.5 Now Ill be running the 942 @ 2ohms, Don't know if that will make a difference.?
