Question regaurding wiring an amp

Recommended Posts

Ok so I have a crossfire VR4KD, and this amp has 2 4awg positive inputs & 2 4awg ground inputs. My question is this....

Is it neccessary to have all 4awg as inputs (+ & -) or would it be a problem to run 2 pos 1/0 with 4awg reducers and 2 4awg as gounds? Will the grounds being 4 and the pos being 1/0 be a problem for the amp?

wiat so you want to toss 2 runs of 1/0 reduced to 4awg of the POSITIVE and ONLY have 2- 4awg ground wires...

Power and Ground wires should be the same, only grounds may be bigger and not vice a verse.

you do relize that a single run of 1/0 can do about~ 245Amps of current (pending on the wire) and the 4awg can do about 130each / run..

This is what I was wondering, thx.

correct. The only reason I asked thus was because with my setup I already have 2 runs of 1/0 there, but only 1 1/0 for ground.
