Panel is finished except a few minor touches like filling holes wire passes through and drilling holes to pass the main DC lead that I'll be using barrel connectors to detach the panel from the control box that I'll be starting to wire tomorrow.

Looks like your going to put drivers outside of tent, 2 drivers, be only 4 wires, just hide it in wire lume, get it at box store or auto parts store

What would be the proper wiring for the Cobs to Drivers?

B would be my choice.

Would I wire both A/C sides together to run from one plug?
And wire the dimmer side with two separate Potentiometers/Voltmeters for both drivers?

Personally, I like to wire everything separately. You never know when you'll have a problem or when you will have to rewire your system to make it bigger or smaller or move it to another room.

Learn from my mistakes . I had to take a hacksaw to my entire array in November.

Yeah I read earlier in this thread that you built a panel then opted for rails after switching tents. Probably going to be what I do, my next build will be for an 8x8 so I may do rails instead of panels. For this one I'll wire it like it were on rails giving me the option to split the frame later if I decide but I may just add a few of those fancy meat chips 1750k (if that's the one) when they become available and call this build a day.

I'm hoping since this one is staying in a 2x4 that won't be the case lol For the future I'll stick to rails, the frame was a pain in the ass and I had to take it apart and recut pieces *face palm*
This has definitely been a learning experience.

I'll definitely buy some up off you. We're like 3 hours away so anything I can buy off you for my builds I will. If I learned anything this build it's that shipping sucks especially from the states, and especially they FedEx you 10 wagos

Did a quick test, both sides work. I'll start wiring the junction box today but I'm waiting on Pots/Voltmeters and terminal block before I can get much farther.
May have to reorder stuff closer since the estimated arrival for the stuff is anywhere from May to June :/

May to June? Damn that's a long wait time. I got my terminal blocks at Home Depot for $6 usd, got box from amazon for $20 and 2 day shipping. I seen a Klein voltmeter pack the other day at Home Depot, it had 2 meters and a voltage tester, it read resistance, amps and voltage for $69 or $79 usd, can't remember. I always thought shipping was same for US and Canada, didn't know it was that much more expensive. I added up all my receipts I'm close to $4000 with light meter that just ordered
