[QUOTE="longstreet, post: 33624, member: 543288"] If your only running one small amp, you should be fine without a farad cap. For what size wire, you could go with 8 gauge or 4 gauge. 8-This is what size your amp wants connected to it...its all you really need. However, if you upgrade in the futur you might need bigger wire such as... 4-If you get this size, then you will need a distribution block. This is becasue your amp cant take that big of a wire. However, this leaves you open for exspantion in the futur. All youd have to do is run a very short wire from the block to the new amp instead of running new wire from your battery. 4ga is also a little more exspsensive. As for fuses...I have a 60 amp fuse on my 4 gauge wire...I havnt blow a fuse yet so I quess it works Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
