$60/each - only place I've found them online is the link posted prevously: http://www.expeditionexchange.com/jlaudio/ I'm running their matching fuse block too - the XA-MFB1/0 ANL: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_connections_detail.php?cat_id=11

I've got the JL Audio ones in both my cars (67 mustang, 66 toronado) - they're by far the nicest battery terminals I've come across, and trust me when I say that I've tried *a lot* of battery terminals (all the stinger ones - custom pros, HPM's, the lcd ones - the knukonceptz ones, rockford...

I'm running two D2s in a sealed box off two BX1000Ds (one for each sub) - seems to be a very nice match. However, a single BX1500D probably wouldn't be a problem either - at least that's what the SI people told me when I asked them the same thing.

I bought one of mine at: Zapco-Audio.com The other one was picked up at the place doing my install: VIP Motorworks They're both authorized zapco dealers ...

I'd go for the Hifonics as well - I've got 2 magnum's each hooked up to a Hifonics BX1000D. The amps run great, don't get too hot, and, most importantly of all, are 1 ohm stable (gotta keep the gains down on them a little bit, though).

Ahh ... that makes a lot of sense - thanks for the explanation.

I'm still confused about the fused/non-fused distribution block thing, though ... if I use a non-fused distribution block, I will need all the inline fuses marked in the diagram, right? But if I use a fused distribution block, I'll only need the fuse on the wire to the HU and the master fuse...

Thanks ... I've got a new version of the diagram now which doesn't have the second, large fuse, nor the distributor between the HU and battery: wiring diagram 2

Yah, I think my electrical system is up to par - I just installed a 200 amp alternator, and upgraded the battery wiring to 4 gauge. Thanks for the comments - got a couple of follow-up questions for ya ... Why do you suggest using a non-fused distribution block for the amps? If I do that, that...

I'm getting ready to do my very first car install, so I decided to spend an afternoon drawing up a simplified power wiring diagram ... and I'd love some input on it. You can see it here: wiring diagram Does it look ok (meaning "Will I burn down my car if I wire it like this?")? Bear in mind...

Ah, yes, sorry about the mix-up. As far as I know the changer can connect directly to the HU through the Ai-NET port ... so I guess it'll be ok. Thanks.
