Also, while I'm here, what size fuse should go in the fuse holder just beside the battery?

Make sure you ground both amp to the same spot and run a daisy chain from one amps remote turn on to the others. That way you do not have any splices in the line. Everything else looks good

We can't really tell you if your wire size is correct since we don't know the RMS you'll be running. But in general, it's good unless your drawing 2000+. The 16g on the sub wire may be too small, especially when it's really cheap to buy 14 or 12.

Instead of running 2 remote wires just jump from 1 amp to the other, also if you can ground both amps to the same point.

Could still use two wires for the remote, but if you did, I'd get some wire from Pep boys or Autozone. It's not as flexible but the jackets/sleeves on them are pretty thick so what you can do is braid them together and it will look clean. Although it will cost you more to do it this way rather than running 1 remote wire and either splitting them or connecting to the 1st amp and from the 1st amp to the 2nd. Either way works fine.

I'm a big fan of braiding. Makes for a much cleaner install

Yes I am actually running 12awg for the sub wire, forgot to specify.

So just like, have the remote go into one amp, then have a second wire in that port that goes to the other amp?

Yeah so on your comp amp you will have two remote turnon wires in it

Alright, thanks.

EDIT: Apologize in advance for crappy pictures, someone took the camera so I had to use my phone.

Got this for my sub box. It says for use with 12-18awg wire, but it says to use Banana Plugs. Would I be able to just put straight wire in there? I found a way, not sure how safe it is though.

You just unscrew the terminals and there is a hole in it. Place the speaker wire in it and screw the terminal back down.
