ONE MORE FOR THE GREAT TOM. I.C.E

[danny]

HI ITS DANNY AGAIN YOU HAVE HELPED WITH MOST OF MY ICE SETUP AND IM JUST AFTER ONE LAST BIT. AT THE MO AS YOU KNOW IVE GOT 2 12INCH PIONEERS RUNNING OFF A 1200 WATT AMP, VIBE 360 WATT 6X9S, AND 13CM PIONEERS IN THE DASH, NOW IVE GOT ALL MY NEW STUFF THE COMPONENTS FOR THE DASH,SONY MID RANGERS FOR THE REAR STANDARD SPACE AND A 520 AMP TO RUN THE COMPONENTS AND THE 6X9S .

OBVIOUSLY I HAVE NOW GOT 2 AMPS. I HAVE AT THE MO 8 GAUGE POWER CABLE RUNNING THE AMP AND ITS FINE. IF I WAS TO RUN 1 4GAUGE CABLE TO A POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCK THEN 2 4GAUGE TO THE AMPS OBVIOUSLY FUSED APPROPRIATLY THEN WOULD THAT WORK OR AM I LIVING IN DREAM LAND. CHEERS DANNY

Bin the 6x9's and turn caps lock off

4 guage and a distro block is the way to go. Remeber you still MUST HAVE a fuse in the engine bay near the battery. That fuse is to protect the wire and your car.

If your amps have fuses already then you don't need a fused distro block.

Like I said, the fuse at the battery is purely to protect the car, not the amps. Add up the fuse ratings on the amps and then add a bit extra and find the nearest fuse.

Say your amps have 40A and 30A fuses respectively, thats 70A total so get a 100A fuse up front.
