5000 watt orion amp, 370 alt, not sure if i should use 1/0 or 2/0, and i think 500 amp fuses.

Trying to figure the best way with the Least amount of fuse holders, as they cost a lot of money lol.

Is this the best way to run the wire?  And do i need the fuses in those 3 spots?   

Do i need to run ground from front to back?  Or is chas ground good enough?

Is two runs of 1/0 good enough?  Or should i do 2/0?

No replies so im guessing my diagram looks like **** hahaha. 

How about some decent ANL fuse holders for 1/0 that are cheaper?  

I did find a decent package from GP audio. 

Comes with all these for 19 bucks.  Seems pretty good savings if u add up all the parts. 

1) 1 Foot 1/0 AWG OFHC Pure Copper wire, pre-terminated on each end

1) ANL Block

1) Amp ANL Fuse

1) Extra 1/0 AWG Lug

1) Extra Red Shrink

These SMD ones seem good but cost so MUCH money,  But one side is like a buss bar, so 1 of these might be good in the front so i can buss bar all of one side with altentator, and up front batterys, with double runs each.  Then 2-4  1/0 run to the back with 4 500amp fuses.

Use 2/0 welding cable. Royal Excelene I use the 1/0 myself. Have been for several years with 0 issues. IF you go to the power wire route instead, I would use OFC and not that CCA BS.

Nice thanks for the info,  u can get 30 feet of that royal 2/0 for only 87 bucks,.  That seems like a great deal vs something like skyhigh wire at around 5 dollars a foot, but this stuff is 99.99 pure OFC.

Signal flow should be HU to DSP to amps. You would lose the ability to EQ and time align the sub with the DSP unit if you bypassed the DSP.
