Silver Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 422 Registered: Mar-06 | I should be fine running 4 gauge wire to my zx1500 pushing 2 12" ssd's right? I have full 0/1 from my batt to my distro and then 4 gauge to my zx350.4 and im gonna put 4 gauge to a zx1500. I should be fine with this right? If not, should i run 0/1 from the distro to the 1500? Also, can i run 4 gauge grounds from those two amps to another ground distro? or should i use 0/1? or does it really not matter with that amount of power? Stock alt, batt, etc. |

Silver Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 423 Registered: Mar-06 | thanks for the quick response...also bc im kinda OCD and my trunk is exposed and i like symmetry, would it badly affect the performance of the 350.4 if i ran 0 gauge from the distro blocks for power and ground from that?? ahah yea im weird.... |

Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodian Post Number: 2421 Registered: Sep-04 | Use 4 gauge for the 350.4. but use 0 gauge for the zx1500. You want even power in, and even flow out. |

Silver Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 425 Registered: Mar-06 | but CAN i use 0 gauge on the 350 and not hurt the amp or the sound. I know its pointless, but CAN i? |
