Matt, even that is a little much on the power. I have found NO GAIN after 6 runs of power wire. Maybe if you go to 30, 40, 50 runs you might gain a tenth but I dont really feel like spending more on my power wire than my car... sorry call me ..... crazy ????

6 0g for power, run to busbar in tyrewell, then 8 out (2 for each Z1)
For ground have 8 0g runs, again 2 per amp, but no busbar, just running cable straight in.

I did the math using a typical resistance per foot and a 1000 amp draw for a 14 foot wire. From 2 to 4 runs, you gain about 0.5V at the amp. From 4 to 6 runs, you gain about 0.2V at the amp. From 6 to 7 runs, you gain about 0.08V at the amp. I don't remember the exact numbers but those are close. I had also heard that there were no gains after 6, but the math backs that up. I have 7 runs as I had to buy my 1/0 in 50 foot rolls. With a 12.5 ft run from front to back, that makes 8 runs out of 2 rolls. I took one of those runs and used it in some miscellaneous areas, which left 7. I know it didn't help, but it was just laying there already cut, so I used it anyhow. BTW, also if you look at the math, 4 runs of 2/0 is the same as 6 runs of 1/0, so basically I had 13 runs, 7 positive and 6 negative.
