That would be the easiest and most convenient way of doing it.

thats the way im doing it on my treo. is there any benefit to run two runs of 2/0 instead of splitting it?

Not particularly.

If the runs are short enough, two runs of 4 gauge will carry as much current as as is needed.

bigger wire helps your amp get more current...more current means more power.....

But only if the amp NEEDS more current than the wire is capable of providing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

No sense in wasting money on more 1/0 when 4 gauge is more than able to provide the needed amount.

so what is the biggest guage that will fit?

Straight from the manual: The Orion 2500d has two seperate four gauge power and ground inputs. Both pairs must use 4 AWG power wire for proper operation. Might be able to fit some 2AWG in there. Or if u really wanna run 0AWG just run the wire to it, then get one of those 0-4AWG metal adapters things that fit in the amplifier terminals.
