Crutchfield fail

[Stephen_c 10+ year member]

Power Wiring Recommendation: The ZA1200 amplifier has four 40-amp fuses, for a total fuse rating of 160 amps. The power and ground terminals accept up to 4-gauge wire, and typical 4-gauge wiring kits include 100-amp fuses. In order to match (or exceed) the fuse rating of the amplifier, it is recommended that you substitute a 160-amp or higher fuse for the 100-amp fuse supplied with the amp wiring kit. An ANL fuse holder and ANL fuse may be required to meet or exceed the 160 amp fuse rating.

Running your 8 guage amp kit with a 200A fuse will allow the wire to move more current then it's rated for...

OMG I dind't know Eclipse had the new ICE amps out.

I can't believe I am about to get a set of the older ones.

those are ***.

But doesn't the power move faster with a smaller wire, higher velocity so more power right?? So you should use 24 gauge all over...I swear it works great //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

IMO, it don't look too good. Looks like something from the command deck on a star trek episode. Powered by the BORG lol
