what size of fuse to put by the battery ? 150A ?

for the fuse just add all the ampers up....150 would work....however i suggest a circuit breaker

hey thanks

but why a circuit breaker and not an ANL fuse ?

will anything happen if use 0 gauge then split it to 4 & 8 ?...besides a bigger hole in my wallet ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

your going to use a distribution block right??? i recomend a circuit breaker because if u blow the fuses....its cheaper over time....know what i mean?

ohhh ok thanks man

another thing...how to do i wire the speakers to the JBL ?

i kinda confused with the terminals

i wanna use one IDMAX 4 ohm DVC 12

i will run it at 2 ohms

how to do this ?

first off the jbl will have 2 outputs...only use one...that can be a bit confusing....

for a 2ohm load wire as follows

thanks again

what if i were using a pair of dual 2 ohm subs and wantedthe amp to see 2 ohms how will i connect it ?

also...why are the controls on the jbl amps so screwed up ?

having 2 outputs is suppost to make it easier to wire 2 subs........but for 2 dvc 2ohm subs wire as follows for a 2ohm load
