Hey guys recently i've got my new equipments which consist of US Amps/RE Audio
2x US Amps MD21 2x US Amps MD-3D 4x RE 6.5Comp Set 4x RE SX 12" Dual 4ohms
As for electrical I'm planning a 250 or 300a Ohio Gen and for Batteries 1x Power Master D5100R under the hood and 2x Power Master D3100 in the back close the the amps.( the amps and batts will be at each side of the trunk)
Now I was wonder which would be the best way to wired the amps and the batteries, plan A or B?
plan A. first i was thinking to put each MD-3D on each Power Master D3100 and 2x 1/0 awg wire for each battery (from front to the back), and the two MD-21 hooked up to the front battery (the Power Master D5100R) and 2x runs of 4Awg wire, thus 1x 4awg for each MD-21 the MD-21 will also be in he trunk installed, so total I will have to run 6x wires from the front to the back 4x 1/0Awg and 2x 4Awg.
Plan B But now I was thinking to use each Power Master D3100 for a MD-3D and a MD-21 and the other D3100 for the other two Amps thus sharing each batts for the amps, and for wires I'll be running 4x 1/0Awg from front to the back and from there I'll use shorter 4awg wires for the MD-21's, so saving some wires
now what do you guys think which one will be the best plan A or B ,thus saving some wires and sharing the batts or let the D3100 for the Subs Amps only? will it be ok or i will loose power sharing the batteries?
anyways thanks.

I reccomend doing 4 runs of 0 guage from the front powermaster to the ones in the rear and split it up and run one md3 and one md2 off of each d 3100. Also up front under the hood do the big three upgrade which would be a run of 0 guage from the alt to the powermaster up front, a run of 0 from the powermaster to the stock ground up front grounding the batt with 0 guage instead of the factory 8, and then your runs of 0 guage to the rear batts. Since the batts will be all run in parallel they will gett about the same amount of charge and each amp will get sufficent current to opperate this way. You don't have to run seperate wire for each amp, you can do all 4 runs to one batt and then daisy chain the two batts together in the rear or do 2 runs of 0 to each batt and then run the wire to the amps. You can even run the wire to a dist block before or after the batts, but I have never done it this way. I usually just run the wire to the batts and use that as my d block. I do reccomend fusing after you run from the batts in the rear to the amps to protect them from current overload.

I hope that you can understand all of that. I can see how I typed it that it may be a little confusing. If anyone can explain it better please help this man.
