Couple volt meter/fuse questions

[7ender 10+ year member]

So i'm planning on getting this:

The fused distro block with volt meter by knukonceptz.

I'm planning on putting it between my rear battery and amps, and was wondering if there was a good way to have it turn on/off besides running a switch all the way to the front of the car...I dont' really want to have it on 24/7, but would also appreciate it turning on by itself when the car/amps are on.

Also, would a 150amp fuse be enough for a bxi2006d? I'll be running 1600 watts through it. If my calculations (1600/14.4) are correct, it should be a little more than enough.

Thanks!

i have a stinger voltmeter/ fuse holder and it turns off automatically when the car is off for a couple minutes. a 150amp fuse should be good. what size wire do you have?

I've heard this one doesnt' though, the person i'm buying it from told me it'll stay on unless I wire a switch to it.

I'm running 1/0 to the amps of course //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Yes, i'm going to need a reducer to come out the other end of the block since it accepts 1/0 but only outputs in 4ga.

instead of a switch wire it to the remote wire for the amps

But from what I understand, it's not a positive lead that controls the on/off(ie you'd wire it into the remote turn on)

It only has a separate ground wire, which you would then wire an inline switch into then ground it.
