Wire quanity and size questions..

[bassahaulic 155]

How much 1/0 should I buy for the van? I was thinking about replacing the runs already in the van with new wire, so what 100' power and like 25' ground?

Also, how thick speaker wire would you use for roughly 1000w per woofer? I figured 10awg speaker wire should suffice just fine. Although 8awg could happen if needed.

8ga ... easy to use and cut...

I know, I've always used it before. But this is a pretty substantial build, I'd more then likely need 300 or more feet of 8awg.

How are we suppose to know how many runs you have / need?

Maybe list amps your using?

Sigh, I guess I'll just do 2-3 runs lol.

25' 4/0 red, 10' 4/0 black, unless you have a battery bank, then make sure you get enough of each to jump between batteries.

100' 8 gauge red and black. 10gauge will work just fine though, especially if the tinsels are 10g.
