Thanks for the replies, i'm just glad my amp isnt shot

Do you think 60a is enough to run 2000w? Maybe i should get a bigger fuse/? that fuse has been there since I had my old setup which was only 600watts

i would prolly bump it up to 80 or 100

 

[SlickCMRick 10+ year member]

ok so ill get an 80a fuse

now if i have the big 3 done, should i do it in 1/0? Then switch my power wire from 4 to 1/0? Hopefully all of this costs under $200, cuz thats all ive got right now.

you could for sure do it for under 200. i'm not sure what a shop would charge, but i'm sure they'll charge quite a bit.

Bro you need to get some 1/0 power wire for that. You have at least 200 amps of draw therefore id fuse somewhere along the lines of 150 amps. To do that you need ANL style fuses so I'd just upgrade to a nice 1/0 kit and do the big three and call it a day. I ran two opti2000d's at 1 ohm a piece on stock 50 amp alt and one battery and it worked out so you should be fine.
