Like the title says, im getting ready to start my install and am wondering how people are running the 1/0 cables? Ive had 3 previous rams and always have run under the door kick plates, but that was always #4 and it was tight. Now that im running 1/0 and installing 2 amps/dsp i think it may be too tight under there. Read somewhere that people were running it under the truck, but im a little worried about that as i live in a cold winter climate. Tons of gravel,etc.. Any ideas welcome.. This is what ive cooked up already. 20200209_041606.jpg20200209_041557.jpg
Hertz 1dk - 1250w rms for subs
Kenwood xr600-6dsp - 6x100w rms for fronts and rear doors w/maestro AR
Jbl gx series 3.5s on dash and 963s for the front and rear doors. 2.3 ohm speakers to pull as much from the amp/dsp as possible.
2x 12 fox box 3.5 cu/ft 33hz with reducers for 10s.
2x hertz sx250 spl shows

Ive always just done a speaker swap and tapped the sub wires with a lc2i to run aftermarket subs on my last 3 rams, but have always wanted clean, controllable signals. The tapping method works but your limited to what the ****ty alpine amp is sending. Ive never been 100% happy with the sound that this way produces. Also your fronts can't keep up with any decent sub setup.
Cheers
 
Under the truck along side of a frame member and with protective wiring loom or even going overkill and using PVC sprinkler pipe might be an idea.
 
In my 3rd and 4th gens, there was a plastic plate in the firewall behind the battery. Clutch plate delete? not sure, but i think 5th gens have the same.
