Okay, i need some expert opinions. So, with that said which one of these diagrams would be correct the left or right? The difference is that the left diagram has the amps grounded to the chasis, while the right diagram has the amps connected straight to the battery. Also if there is anything else i could do that would make this future system of mine (hopefully) any better? please give me all the advice you know. I heard some people say running multiple power wires is better? do i need a more powerful alternator than 250A? Can i even use a kinetik 2400 as a start up battery? thanks

The grounding issue shouldnt be a problem. I typically run the ground from the amps to the batterys if they are located close enough to the amps.
The 2400 can be used as a starting battery....its is a very very good battery for anything you want to throw at it
Running multiple runs of 1/0 is only effective in competition use most of the time.....only worth a few tenths of a ecible, but sometimes its all the diffrence needed.
But these amps will require a 1/0 guage power run for each amp
Very very nice setup, hope you get it

another thing to add....the KX2500.1's are strappable amps, one one runs of wire will need to go to the sub, the amps will be connected together....thats that best way to run them in my oponion.

Sorry, those diagrams were suppose to say *ZX2500 not KX2500. I do not think that the ZX2500's are strappable, that is why i had each amp wired to a voicecoil. But, what would you go with, the older KX2500's strapped, or the newer ZX2500 wired each to a seperate voicecoil???? I was thinking about the ZX's since they are newer, but you are right the KX's would probably be easier to do.
