if you have a big enough system, you would need that much wire. It's mostly for SPL competitors Mr. SPLluminator

lol, Yea ik splluminator is kindof a gay name. But thats besides the point. Im just saying, Im going to have a dd9512g and an IA 20.1 in my lumina for local SPL competition soon. I was planning on one run of 2/0 awg to the back. I know how to run wires, etc...

I guess im just having a hard time explaining. Ill put it this way. I got 110ft of 2/0 wire for a decent price. I plan on selling alot of it. Would there be an advantage to having more than one run to the back?

Like this. Thats what i mean. Im Curious. Would it help with only an IA and JBL 100x4? If i did two maybe 3 runs? I have the wire.

Car audio is addictive, i would go ahead and do at least 2 runs to the back, just in case of future upgrades.............. before you sell the extra wire.

Alright, thats what i meant. Will it help the current setup at all? more current capability.

more power is always better

ok, thanks guys. Sorry i wasnt very clear at all.

The cars with insane numbers of runs are usually running in a class that allows 1 battery. The multiple runs are there to get every bit of amperage possible from the single battery.

I have 2 runs of 2/0 to my battery bank in the rear of the truck.

Ok then ill do three runs. Where should i get a terminal that will alow that? or should i use just regular ring terminals on the battery terminal?

I have a dual terminal that tightens with an allen bolt, i got mine from an local electrical supply house. Havent seen a three lug type. You can stack standard lugs, or make a small buss bar and attach it to the battery then attach each cable to the buss bar.
