[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8844364, member: 674149"] I think it's only one amp, and OP wants to replace the one amp. (This is if its only one amp). That ct sounds amp has a 180amp fuse. (its also 1800w at 14.4v. 1400w is at 13.2, but that's not what your voltage is when running). That red wire says 4ga on it. 4gauge / 4awg. That is too small for that new amp. For the CT amp, you need to replace the power and ground wire with 1/0 OFC cables, and you can fuse near the battery at 180 amps. If the power cable is less than 15 feet, you could also use a 200amp fuse near the battery if that is your only option, (180 is better though). (If it's longer than 15ft you might be able to go higher, but we would be getting into a gray area where we would need more info). [/QUOTE]
