Will i notice a difference by putting bigger wire than 1/0?

i will be running about 3200 rms but still why not i mena i have the wire for free plus terminals u know.

a previous poster suggest 2/0, which is plenty for that. if you plan on upgrading later, you could put 4/0, if not, you could just do 2/0

if i wanted to run 4/0 to a dist block how would i do this? so i can make it into 2 or 4 gauge.

u would have to cutsom make a distribution block they dont make 4/0 D/B

i am running one zapco 9.0 and a dc reference 1000.4 but i will be running another 9.0 in the future u know for loud bass.

nm then i guess running 1/0 to that would be ok since batteries will be in the trunks next to the amp.

i'm always confused. lol. i would think that 1/0 would do it. i looked at a guys denali that was running a crapload of power to 3 solo x's and his was done with 1/0.

hmm i c well i will call the car audio place tommorow and ask what they think but should i use 1/0 welding wire or car audio wire then? if i buy car audio wire i buy it if i go welding wire i get it free.

i personally used kicker hyperflex 1/0. it is way more bendable/flexible than anything i've ever used.

Flexible kicker wire is correct. . . Rockford Fosgate wire is the exact same shit but its a different color.

i've never seen 0 guage that can be tied in a knot like the hyperflex. it may not be worth the money for some people, but i needed as easy as it could get when i installed my equip.

true but i work for a industrial dist. company. so thats why i have access to all of this stuff. so then u think 1/0 will be efficient i guess well i put some welding wire up for sell but i dont know how much to charge any ideas?

i think trunks9 just put some up for sale. check and see what he sells it for. i'd guess 2 bucks per foot or so for 0 guage welding wire. just a guess.
