Some basic electrical questions...

Recommended Posts

I am getting ready to place an order from Knu for my wiring. I just want to make sure I get what I need the first time and it's the right stuff. First of all...do I need one or two runs of 1/0g power wire for my two amps? The mono block will likely be an AQ1200d at 2 ohm (870w RMS) and the other amp for my mids/highs will be no more then 150w x 2 @ 4ohms. So if a single run is sufficient, once I get the wire to the amps and I go to split...what size wire should go to the AQ amp? I am just wondering because I didn't see a dist. block on Knu's site that allows for a 1/0g wire to be split into 2 or more 1/0g wires for multiple amps to be ran with that size wire. I figure 4g would do for the smaller amp...I just want to make sure the sub amp is properly feed. One other question for now...terminal ends...is #1 the correct size or do I need larger? Thanks and sorry for the newb questions.

4 Gauge is typically sufficient up to 1500 watts I'd do one run of 1/0 to the rear, big 3 in 1/0 and then get a distribution block or make one then from the 1/0 jump it up to 4 gauge to both your mids and highs amp to your sub amp. For terminals 1/0 is what you need
