Hi, I just bought a Rockford Fosgate 1/0 AWG Fused Distribution Block Gauge
It is Rockford Fosgate fused ANL distribution block with a gold finish, one 1/0 AWG in and two 1/0 AWG outs.
So I run O guage wire from battery to dist block, put 300amps in on side--0 guage wire output going to another distrubtion block 1/0 guage input--2 4 guage output to my 2 amplifiers--1--1000watt sub amp and 1--500watt component amp.
Then I put 200amp fuse on other side with 0 guage wire output going to my alternator.
is this a good idea, so can the main 0 guage from the battery to fuse block with 2 0 guage output handle both the amplifier and alternator load. I am thinking amps total load would be around 1500watts, with 1000watt for subs, 500watts for components. And then my stock alternator which is about 80amps, but probably get hight output alternator with 170amp down the line.(if I get the dimming headlight problem). Is combined 300amp+200amp fuse or load current(assume peak condition) which is 500amps too much for the main 0 guage power wire to the dist fuse block or am I okay.
or is it better to just run 0 guage wire from the battery to amplifiers with the 300amp fuse. Then another 0 guage wire from battery to alternator with 250amps fuse block. so in this way, each load is separate.
which way should I do it. I guess I am trying to just use 1 fuse block instead of 2 fuse block--1 for amps and 1 for alternator(big3).
any suggestion or ideas.
