| How many runs of 0 gauge would you run from alt to batteries for charging? And from batteries to amps(9 Kinetik 2400's & 6 Mojo 2500 amps) Just wondering if I have enough. | |

| i would run three pos. and three neg. from alt to battery. Each set of three battery gets a run of pos and neg from alt.then run your amps. Do they use two pos and two neg for the amp each? | |

| Would really depend on the amperage of your alternator for the runs back to the batts. to the amps I run as much of th ebiggest wire possible, nothing like overkill | |

| I have 2 positives from a dedicated alt to the batteries,and 2 grounds from batteries to frame,each amp only has one + and - but each negative is to the frame as well,I only have 2 runs to the distribution from batteries and then one to each amp so I am planning on running at least 4 more runs from batteries to distribution,hope that will help,but I will also put another run from alt to batteries,it's a 220 amp,but the alt terminal just doesn't hold much,but thanks everyone. | |
