im confused... so what should I do then? What is the best way to wire it. I'm going to have a xenon 200.4 and rsd 600.1 with 4 guage running to the rear then to a distro with 4 guage to as of now Ti 400.2 and my rsd600.1 when my xenon 200.4 gets here what is the best way to wire it?

1/0 to the back, then split with a block is the way i would do it, but you could also just add another 4awg run for just the 200.4 and keep the existing 4awg for the 600.1

what dist block are you using?

It is a stringer 4 awg in and 2 4 awg out looks like a T splitter.

maybe you could draw me a pic of what ideally my wiring options would be with correct awg and stuff for when I get the x200.4 and my rsd600.1 Im a visual learner

option A is the easiest/cheapest way to go for you at this point.

B is the BEST way IMO. you could buy the 1/0 kit from knukonceptz for about 60 iirc, the block for 20 then use your existing 4awg for the shorter runs from the block to the amps

the other gotcha about B, is that you will have to find a crimper that can handle the 1/0 cable, not the sort of thing most people just have around the house

also, forgot to put the grounds on option B, but i think you know whats going on there

I find an old set of side cutting pliars works great for crimping 0g connectors (the ones I use are called linesman pliers). I clamp an X onto it, then grab my torch and ram it full of solder.

Of course you can get screw on terminals as well

Ok I get what your putting down

Cool thing is that for my dads install I bought him that knu concepts

http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetai ... dID=KNF-23

I bought two so I have one for the ground and one for power in the back. and they are fused. BUT I bought him a sweet Powercore 15 Farad distro center so I think he is gunna give me those knuconepts that he has. haha yes! So I may just go with your option b. Might just have to buy a PG 0/1 awg kit. Has everything I need.

-----
Edit: I wonder if it would be cheaper to just buy 0/1 awg from knu concepts for power, then 0/1 for ground, and positive batt clamp, and do I need a negative bat clamp? But I think thats all I need right?

List for upgrade
16 Ft 0/1 awg power
4 Ft 0/1 awg neg
Pos batt terminal
Neg batt terminal (Do I even need?)
Inline ANL Fuse holder (what size fuse should I get?)

I believe this is all right?

^sounds like you got it now!

knu does make a matching ground block: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetai ... dID=KND-23

Am I screwed because my dad already has two of the KNF-23 3 way system. If I used that for my power and my ground is that wrong? If it is ill just buy the ground one you mention the KND-23.

edit
and what size ANL fuse should i do in the ANL fuse holder AMP wise. 60A 120A? bigger?

its not really ideal, you could try and return it?
