wire size for bx1500

Ok, I can get me hands on a 2 ga. wire that is used to make welding whips. I can get it for free. This should enough for the bx1500d, yes?

I did a run of 1/0 gauge to the trunk, then distributed it to 4 gauge for a 3 foot run to the amp.

And this is a good guideline to follow:

This install will be in an ext cab pickup. Amp will go under the front seat, so not too far of a run. I would like to stay away from dist blocks, etc. since not too much room under the seats.

my dist block takes up maybe 2" by 3" space.

use the 4 gauge you'll be fine, make sure you get the ANL distro block though.

2 gauge welding cable will be perfect, thats what i used for my bx1500d
