Sounds good. I will use the 80 amp fuse. Thanks again

Ok. I understand. I was told that the goal is to protect your car. I would think the best case scenario would be to fuse as close as possible to the amp draw. In my case, I have a Memphis Audio 500 watt amp at 2 ohms. It has two 30 amp fuses. I have a 60, 80 and a 100 amp fuse, but I was...

According to Crutchfield: Q: How big should the fuse be? A: If you're installing just one amplifier, the fuse at the battery should simply match or slightly exceed the fuse rating of the amplifier itself. Some amps don't come with onboard fuses — you have to find their fuse ratings in their...

Huh? I thought you fuse to the fuses on the amp? So, if my amp has 2 30 amp fuses you fuse the power wire to 60 amps. Is that wrong?

Ok, so I had a change of plan. I was getting ready to pull the trigger on the PPI, when I ran into a friend who gave me a Memphis Audio Street Reference Amplifier SRX1250. Brand New. He said if it works out for me, buy him dinner one night when we are out. Great guy! Anyway, the RMS rating...

Audio Technix has some good stuff. Not sure about 4/0 though. I just picked up some 4 AWG OFC. Good stuff.

Think I will go with the PPI. thanks again everyone.

1stgen, the two are similar in price. I did look at that, but for the same money the 1500 seems like the better deal. Really strange, some sellers actually list the 1300 higher than the 1500 in price. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Forgot to add, the subs are going in a ported box in trunk.

Hi everyone, My system is ready to go, with the exception of an amp for my 2 10" Blaupunkt GTW-1000 subs. They are single 4ohm, so will be wired to a 2 ohm load. They are rated at 200W RMS and 600W peak each. I have a Kenwood KDC-655U head unit and stock speakers for now (will upgrade those...

Cool! Thanks for sharing. Want to see some pics of install!

Been following with interest. Mylows10, did you get the unit working?

I watchd a couple of videos on YouTube by a channel called car fabrication. He does a tutorial on sub enclosure drawing using sketchup. I learned a lot. Recommended.

2014 Kia Rio (trunk); 26x14x13; Blaupunkt GTW-1000 (10" sub); 2 subs; slot port; rock and metal; everyday Music; tuning 34Hz; volume 1.7-2.0 Thank you for doing this

Wow, Monoprice has good prices but shipping offsets it quickly. I bought some Sky High 12 Gauge. Looks like good stuff based on YouTube reviews. Thanks everyone for all your help.
