A few questions?

[hunter121 10+ year member]

Hi all I have a 02' Chev. 2500hd, and I have a cpl amp wiring kits to use with my 2 amps. They are a 4g/8g kits. The amps I am useing are:

old RF 500a2 (inline fuse 60amp) -Going to be bridged for a Assassin 10

Profile CA600/2 (2x25A) - Polk 6500db comps

My questions are,

Can I use the extra power distribution block for the grounds to the amps?

Will the supplied 100amp inline power fuse (next to batt.) be enough for these 2 amps,(4g power to dist. block/8g out)?

Which gauge wire to rig the AA Assassin 10 sub to the box? I will be giving it around 300-350 watts.

I should be running 600watts or so with both amps going, figure 250 to the comps and 300 or so to the sub. I hope this is enough info for you guys, and if these questions sound stupid forgive me I'm new at this. Thanx for the help guys.

1. Yes....actually it would be good to have all equip Head unit included grounded in a single point. Dist block is great for this.

2. 100 amp should be MORE than enough. I have not looked up the specs for the amps...but look them up see what max current draw is, add the 2 up and use a fuse just slightly larger NOT MUCH. Over kill on the fuse is as bad as not having a fuse at all. The purpose is to blow if a short happens not hold longer.

3. 12 ga should be fine. I wouldn't waste money on anything bigger than 10....Personally I would just use 12.
