[QUOTE="Dafaseles, post: 8731208, member: 681482"] My opinion is, let's say, full tilt, you do need almost 400 amps of power. You won't, but me, I like to prepare for the worst so you don't get surprised. Good, oversized 1/0 OFC car audio cable is usually rated around 350 amps. If you're using welding cable, that's not oversized and 1/0 is usually rated around 300 amps. I don't know exactly what cable your using. To feed those amps almost 400 amps, you'd either need to run 1 1/0 and 1 4 awg.... or you might be able to get away with 1 run of 2/0 car audio OFC (400 amps). If it was me, I'd lean on the side of caution and just run the 2 separate wires (1/0 and the 4 awg). It's only 2 wires and if you have any power issues, you know it won't be the 2 runs to the amps. That's just my opinion [/QUOTE]
