[QUOTE="mikerosoft, post: 934522, member: 560891"] I have an optima yellow top in there now and am just ordering up all my wires and fuses. I am a little confused though. I know I need to fuse between the alternator and the battery, and I need to fuse the main power line going back to power all the amps. What size fuses should I be getting for these though? My alternator is 160 amp (115 at idle), and my amp loads are 3 x 50amp and 1 x 30amp. I am planning to use all Stinger 1/0 HPM wire for the big three and as my main going to the back. It will then be distrobuted into 4 x 4awg to power the amps (I found a singer midi-fuse distro block that will allows for this). When running my grounds would I be better to use 1/0 HPM ground wires and gauge adapters, or simply run 4 awg grounds? (My amps can only take 4awg wires.) [/QUOTE]
