[QUOTE="Kangaroux, post: 7456668, member: 628495"] For the fact that I just want to buy once and try to plan ahead I'm trying to figure out what wire gauge I should use for when I do my big 3. The final setup is going to include (2) SS Rubicon 2500D's, and (1) SS Rubicon 2.600. That's roughly 5,500 watts, and assuming I'm running at battery voltage (12.8) that's 430A. This setup is going to be for music so I highly doubt I'll ever actually be pulling 430A. For the wire itself I'll be using welding cable from [URL="http://www.weldingsupply.com"]weldingsupply.com[/URL] . I'm thinking 2/0 will do the job since it's very short runs but I've never ran large wire gauges so I'm not exactly sure how much each gauge will handle. [/QUOTE]
