hey my truck has a 110 amp alt. i am going to run just 2 amps one is a old mtx blue thunder 3002 for my subs and a autotek sx2200 dor my door spkrs. the mtx has 3 30 amp fuses on it and the autotek has 1 40 amp fuse. what do you think?
thanks that is all i need to knowWell ur not running that much power so u can probably get away with running a 2 Gauge. But if u can afford it might as well go all out and just get 1/0 Gauge. If ur talking about the Fuse at the battery (within 12" i think it was) than go with what ur amps have as fuses added up. so either get 120 or 150 amp fuse since they dont make a 130 (I'd go with the 120 to be safe.) Don't forget to do the Big 3 tho. There's a sticky about it in the Wiring and electrical thread/forum area.
incorrect. you fuse the wire not the amps. therefore 1/0 would be fine with a 250 or 300a fuse.If ur talking about the Fuse at the battery (within 12" i think it was) than go with what ur amps have as fuses added up. so either get 120 or 150 amp fuse since they dont make a 130 (I'd go with the 120 to be safe.)
but can i use 2 power wires? one to each amp?incorrect. you fuse the wire not the amps. therefore 1/0 would be fine with a 250 or 300a fuse.
do you mean run two seperate wires from the batt? you could but that would be a waste, just run 1/0 back to fused distro block and run 4 gauge to your amps.but can i use 2 power wires? one to each amp?
the only reason i say this is because my friend gave me about 30 ft of stinger wire brand new.do you mean run two seperate wires from the batt? you could but that would be a waste, just run 1/0 back to fused distro block and run 4 gauge to your amps.
